About This Item
London: Printed for Jacob Tonson, 1735. Pamphlet. Good. Pamphlet, disbound, lacking any wrappers or cover issued. Leather remains along the spine. 108 pp., plus an illustrated frontispiece. A 1735 printing of Colley Cibber's play, The Careless Husband. This work, exploring infidelity in marriage (cheating husband) with humor and maudlin emotions, was considered Cibber's best work, and perhaps most popular. Colley Cibber was an actor, poet and playwright, although consensus among his contemporaries indicated that he was considered overrated in all aspects of his careers. Alexander Pope featured him as head dunce in his work, the Dunciad. GOOD condition. Covers lacking, with leather present along the spine. Minor toning, scattered foxing and soiling to the paper.
