F.S. Chanfrau in the character of "Mose":  The title can be separated into title proper and other title information (1A1.3, 1F1).  Alternatively, the title could be abridged:  F.S. Chanfrau in the character of "Mose" ...  A note as follows could then be made, if desirable.  Title continues:  ... as originally written for, and performed by him at the Olympic and Chatham Theatres, New York.

James Brown:  Statement of responsibility is transcribed as it appears (1G1).

N[ew]Y[ork]:  Since the place name (referring to the city) is found in abbreviated form on the item, the name is completed in square brackets(2C4).

E. & J. Brown:  The publisher’s name is transcribed with the words associated with it as a single statement, even though two functions are given (2D1).

32 x 24 cm. and 45 x 33 cm.:  Since there is a fairly large difference between the image and sheet sizes, both are recorded (3D3.6).  The cataloger has also chosen to include the text with the measurement of the pictorial area (3D3.1).

Picture caption:  The picture caption (which is independent of the title) is recorded (5B6).
