A Counterfeit Presentment; And, the Parlour Car is a play by William Dean Howells, first published in 1877. The narrative centers on two young artists, Bartlett and Cummings, at the Ponkwasset Hotel, where Bartlett's resemblance to a man who caused emotional turmoil leads to misunderstandings and tensions. The play explores themes of identity, guilt, and the complexities of man-woman relationships, reflecting Howells' realist style and social commentary. This work is notable for its blend of comedy and farce, showcasing Howells' influence on American drama in the 19th century.
