About This Item

Octavo, original boards, frontispiece portrait of Henry Irving in color by Jules Bastien-Lepage. Near fine in a very good price-clipped dust jacket. Jacket lettering by Charlotte Young. Small ownership inscription. Housed in the original slipcase which is in good condition. Mr. Laurence Irving... sees the theatre as it was when the actor began... He is brilliant unveiling the mechanics of the profession... We might - and this is the highest compliment we can pay his biographer - be seeing Irving this very night and be arguing about it afterwards" (V. S. Pritchett).
