Truly an incredible collection of vintage photographs, most of which are autographed by 19th century opera performers and stage actors. More than forty signatures present. Photographs are vintage mounted to heavy paper measuring up to 6.5 X 9. Most actors have signed their photograph, few have signed on this paper mount. Most signers are identified and include: Lillian Russell, E.H. Sothern, Henry Miller, Wilson Bennett (Signature Cut from cabinet card), Stuart Robson, Julia Marlowe (2 – photograph & cabinet card), Joseph Jefferson (2), Blanch Walsh, Ada Rehan (2), Francis Wilson (3), Marie Tempest, Bella Archer, Tomaso Salvini, Marie Burroughs, Edward Willard, Marie Burroughs, Herbert Kelcey, Geraldine Ulmar (2), Agnes Huntington (2), C. Hayden Coffin (2), Thomas Seabrooke, William Broderick, Lulu Glaser (3), and Dame Nellie Melba. A significant archive of 19th century theatrical performers.
Very good condition.
