Six (6) Gilbert and Sullivan Album Cards

N.pl, 1880. Very good. Surface wear, adhesive remnants to versos, a little dust soiling/toning. Stamps.. A set of six (6) album cards, each with a different character and quote from Gilbert and Sullivan's opera "Patience". The opera pokes fun at contemporary (1880's) aesthetics and vanity. The characters here include: Jane; Grosvenor; the Colonel; Ella; Patience; and Bunthorne. Each measures approx. 4.5" by 2.5
