Die schöne Helena : Opera-Buffa in 3 Abtheilungen, ca. 1865, 1880-1895.

The item is a published copy of Dohm's German translation of the original French libretto La Belle Hélène, by Meilhac and Halévy, for the operetta composed by Jacques Offenbach (Berlin: Ed. Bote & G. Bock, 1865; "Den Bühnen gegenüber als Manuscript gedruckt"). It has been annotated as a prompt-book, and homemade labels pasted to the outside front cover mark it as the property of Theodor Bloch, who ran a theater lending library in Philadelphia from around 1880 to 1895. (The collection's holdings of theater newspapers and playbills contain no reference to this work.)
