Rayner typically took 15 or fewer impressions from each plate. It has taken nearly 70 years for Henry Rayner's drypoint work to begin attracting serious interest among collectors."

The broadsheet advertises the Friday February 27 performances of "Norma" and "Les Noces de Jeannette" and the following Saturday & Sunday's performances of "La Traviata" and "Lucrezia Borgia" with the Following week's Monday performance of "I Puritani" and the Tuesday performance of "La Juive" printed on the recto of the overlay tipped on over the Saturday program with that Sunday's "Oratorio and Sacred Concert" advertised on the verso of the overlay. The Broadside is dated "Sunday Evening March 1 1863 under the announcements of "La Traviata" and "Lucrezia Borgia". There is some minor foxing and darkening and the broadsheet is mounted from the verso onto slightly larger heavy cream paper. Very good. The Brau Italian Opera Company began a six week engagement at the Boston Academy of Music on February 9th. This was the last time that what became "The Boston Theatre" was called "The Academy of Music". Among the singers were Madame Lorini Mlle Morensi Signor Maccaferri Signor Susini Mademoiselle Cordier Signor Dubreul etc. The November 15 1862 New York Herald review of an earlier performance of "Norma" at the Academy of Music possibly the Brooklyn Academy of Music in that case highly praises the quality of the Soprano's voice "It follows as a matter of course from what we have just stated that Madame Lorini's debut last night was a success. She had sung but a few passages when the audience recognized the beautiful quality of her voice--pure round and fresh--and though not as powerful as one would wish to hear in Norma still with volume sufficient to give a perfect interpretation of the music of the part. Her method is excellent and exhibits evidence of her Italian training." [Boston]: Transcript Job Printing Office, 1863.
