London Shaftesbury Theatre – Lady Of Lyons – 1888
An original theatre programme for The Lady Of Lyons at the Shaftesbury Theatre, London, dated 17 November 1888.
Edward Bulwer-Lytton’s romantic drama starred Forbes Robertson and Miss Wallis, with Miss Lamballe, Mr Mackintosh, Charles Arnold and George Seldon.
