Signed By The Poet William Drummond On The Ffep And Inscribed To Louis Mann Dated 1899. There Is No Indication But I Am Assuming That The Louis Mann In Question Is The Actor/Director Of The Same Era Since They Moved In The Same Artistic Circles.

The Illustrator Is Frederick Simpson Coburn Each Plate Is Tissue Protected The Binding Is Visible At The Ffep Where The Gutter Is Cracked But The Boards Are Still Holding Well.
