Photograph of a scene from the play 'A Scrap of Paper' that was performed at Balmoral Castle on two occasions; once on the 24th October 1893 and the second on the 30th October 1893. On the left, Frederick Ponsonby plays Anatole who, sitting on the floor, looks up at Brisemouche holding a rifle, played by the Honourable Harry Legge.

The play was adapted by John Palgrave Simpson (1807-87) and was originally written by the French Playwright, Victorien Sardou. Other performers in the tableau included Princess Beatrice (1857-1944), Queen Victoria's youngest daughter and Princess Aribert of Anhalt. The play centres on Louise, Baroness de la Glaciere and her lover Prosper Couramont. The play was performed twice at Balmoral Castle, on the 24th and 30th October 1893. Charles Wilson was the youngest son of George Washington Wilson who was Photographer to the Queen in Scotland. Charles succeeded his father George as photographer at Balmoral in 1887, the year prior to George Washington Wilson's retirement.
