Hesse Name Joke
the match manufacturer joke
A joke on the surname "Hesse": the play's mock-scholarly disclaimer distinguishes its fictional artist-character from two unrelated real bearers of the name -- a match manufacturer and a maker of boxed goods/satirical prints -- typical of the parody's playbill format.
