1808 Theatrical ad includes Edgar Allan Poe's father...



Item # 702672

December 26, 1808

BOSTON GAZETTE, Dec. 26, 1808

* 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" with the performance of: "BATTLE OF HEHAM", a theatrical performance, with one of the principal characters being "Mr. Poe" as "Montague". He was the father of Edgar Allan Poe.
Four pages, untrimmed, a little light damp staining, generally very nice.
