* Edgar Allan Poe's mother theater ad
A curious literary item here as page 3 has an advertisement for the "Boston Theatre" with one of the plays: "SIXTY THIRD LETTER", a theatrical performance, with one of the principal characters being "Mrs. Poe" as "Lydia". She was the mother of Edgar Allan Poe.
Four pages, light foxing, generally in nice condition.
