A printed paper ticket in red attached to a loose leaf sheet.
Prior to 1872 Thomas Birrell had been in partnership with a Mr Alexander Lamb as proprietors of the Royal Scottish Diorama, a changing public visual display in the manner of the huge printed panoramas of the earlier 19th century. The London Gazette of 1872 records that the partnership was dissolved in 1872 and that Lamb continued on as proprietor of the newly named Royal Diorama of Scotland. Birrell clearly continued in his own account as this ticket is dated 22nd May 1873 and presumably for an alternative competing diorama.
