Or actors from kabuki, a form of traditional Japanese theatre involving dance, sumptuous costumes, and heavily stylised drama. The mysterious Sharaku produced many such designs in the 1790s. Theatre-goers could buy prints of their favourite actors, just like modern posters.

1) October 31st, 1844: As the contentious national election approached, William E. Burton, the manager of the theater on Arch Street in Philadelphia, scheduled the performance of the comedy "Whigs and Democrats, or, Love of No Politics" by the author Thomas W. White.
@joellearpdunham @joelex5 3 Even more amazing, another friend, @BobSkiba, just pointed out to me that there is a 1974-era bootleg of the ENTIRE SHOW posted on YouTube of the opening night at the Shubert Theatre in Philadelphia! youtube.com/watch?v=bBGfO-…
2) There was never a cast album of composer Albert Hague's music for "Miss Moffat". But later Nell Carter and Avon Long, accompanied by members of the original cast, did the song "Peekaboo Jehovah" during a staged tribute to Logan. (Hat tip to @JoeLex5!) youtube.com/watch?v=J43lTg…
"Miss Moffat" was a 1974 musical adaptation of the play "The Corn is Green" by Emlyn Williams. Joshua Logan directed. Starring Bette Davis, Dorian Harewood, Anne Francine, Avon Long, & Nell Carter, the show never made it out of its Philadelphia tryout run at the Shubert Theatre.
