* Edgar Allan Poe's father theater ad

A curious literary item here as the top of page 3 has an advertisement for the "Boston Theatre" for the performance of: "HENRY THE FOURTH", a theatrical performance, with one of the principal characters being "Mr.. Poe" as Sir Richard Vergon. (see image) He was the father of Edgar Allan Poe.
News of the day and other interesting advertisements. Four pages, nice condition.
