Theatre Clippings Scrapbook

Public Deposited

This scrapbook, compiled in London, England, features handwritten reviews of London theatre productions. Examples of reviewed plays include an 1885 production of "Olivia" starring Ellen Terry, an 1884 production of "Adrienne Lecouvreur" starring Sarah Bernhardt, and an 1884 production of "Hamlet" starring Wilson Barrett. Alongside the handwritten reviews, the reviewer often pasted in newspaper reviews of the same plays, photographs or illustrations of the actors, and sometimes original sketches of the characters. It is not known who compiled the scrapbook.
