Production materials for Strauss's "Der Spitzentuch der Königen" and its English version "The queen's lace handkerchief." Vocal scores include two distinct German editions by Cranz (Wien): one from 188-?, the other with "new text" by Oesterreicher and Wilhelm, c1931. There is also a German manuscript vocal score, and several copies in English by White-Smith (Boston, c1882), two of which are stage manager's guides. The chorus score was also published by White-Smith. Promptbooks include versions in German ("Regie- und Soufflierbuch" published by Cranz, 1931, and a manuscript copy) and in English (both typed and handwritten).

The English libretto was published by White, Smith (Boston, 1883) and the set of German lyrics by Gustav Lewy (Wien, n.d.) [missing from box, 2/27/17] . Dialogue parts are all in English and include typed (or typed mimeo) and manuscript sets. The accompanying material consists of gas, property, and scene plots and a cast of characters for the English title. Several different production versions of "The queen's lace handkerchief" are represented in the collection: the McCaull version (vocal score, promptbooks, dialogue parts); the Conreid Version (promptbook and dialogue parts); the "small version" (promptbooks and dialogue parts); the "regular version" (promptbooks and dialogue parts); and the Casino Opera House version (vocal scores and dialogue parts).
