1808 Theatrical ad includes Edgar Allan Poe's father...
BOSTON GAZETTE, Dec. 26, 1808
- Edgar Allan Poe's father theater ad (2)
A curious literary item here as the top of page 3 has an advertisement for the "Boston Theatre" with the performance of: "BATTLE OF HEHAM", a theatrical performance, with one of the principal characters being "Mr. Poe" as "Montague".
And another play titled: "THE PILGRIMS..." where he play Captain Standish. (see images) He was the father of Edgar Allan Poe.
Four pages, untrimmed, a little rubbing and small hole on the front leaf, otherwise very nice.
