About This Item
Publisher's green cloth illustrated in black and stamped in gilt, small octavo, pp. 97. Previous owner's tasteful small book plate on front paste down. Top edge gilt. Note that sixteen plates are called for, but the plate supposed to face page 78 is missing, so there are only 15 plates. Additionally, the plate to face page 50 is loose and is simply laid in. Some pages are foxed heavily, others less so. Plates are quite clean. Dame Ellen Terry was great aunt of Sir John Gielgud. This volume from the Stars of the Stage series edited by J. T. Grein.
