Engaged is a three-act farcical comic play by W. S. Gilbert. The plot involves a rich young man, his search for a wife, and the attempts – from mercenary motives – by his uncle to encourage his marriage and by his best friend to prevent it. The play opened at Haymarket Theatre on 3 October 1877 and was well received in London and then in the British provinces, the US and Australasia. Revived many times, it has been called "the finest and funniest English comedy between Bulwer-Lytton's Money [1840] and Wilde's The Importance of Being Earnest [1895], which it directly inspired". This poster was created for the first US production of Engaged in 1879. Poster credit: Victor Arnold; restored by User:Adam Cuerden

Thomas Mundy Peterson (October 6, 1824 – February 4, 1904) was a resident of Perth Amboy, New Jersey who has been claimed to be the first African American to vote in an election under the provisions of the 15th Amendment to the Constitution of the United States. His vote was cast on March 31, 1870; the Amendment had been ratified almost two months earlier, on February 3, but was only officially certified by Secretary of State Hamilton Fish on March 30. To honor him as the first African-American voter after the passage of the 15th Amendment, in 1884, the citizens of Perth Amboy raised $70 ($2400 in 2024 dollars) to award him with a medal, consisting of a gold bar from which a medallion depicting Abraham Lincoln was hung. This photograph shows Peterson in 1884, wearing his medal. Photograph credit: William R. Tobias; restored by Adam Cuerden
