Summary

Description
English: Geraldine Ulmar, as Yum-Yum in The Mikado, American production of August 1885 to May 1886 or slightly later. Falk gives it a "Copyright 1886", so probably a bit later in the run.

The bottom of this one is slightly cut off. An alternate copy here shows the bit of the cabinet card that was cut.

There's some evidence of editing around where she's sitting on the moon. Possibly evidence of a montage. I didn't edit that part too much.

Text on image, all of which but the first bit isn't present here:

  • Copyrighted 1886 by B. J. Falk, N.Y. [on photo, lower left]
  • Copyright 1886 by B. J. Falk [Just below photo, justified right]
  • GERALDINE ULMAR as Yum - Yum
  • "We're very wide awake, the moon and I."
  • Falk [signature, partially cut through on this copy]
  • 949 Broadway, N.Y. [in the cut off section, justified right]
Date late 1885 or 1886
