Invitation to the
Mystic Krewe of Comus Ball, 1901
Theme: Selections From the Operas

 

In the center of the harp are the letters "MKC," for "Mistick Krewe of Comus." Note the invitation states their ball was to be held at the French Opera House (written along the left side of the invitation), a fitting place for their theme.
