1800s Antique Theatre Scrap Book – Multi Programmes + Articles
A genuine 1800s scrap book filled with original theatre programmes and newspaper article cuttings, each glued into the book by its rear page.
Most programmes are complete, with some cut-down examples, and all are period originals rather than reprints. Assembled by a Victorian theatregoer, it offers a rare personal window on nineteenth-century playgoing.
Scrap books like this are a wonderful way to own a slice of Victorian theatre memorabilia, and a superb source of genuinely old theatre programmes for collectors and researchers.
Includes a large number of Theatre Programmes.
The paper in the book is quite brittle and aged.
The book is tatty and loose at the spine.
A real bargain here for the whole lot in one book.
