* Edgar Allan Poe's mother theater ad
A curious literary item here as the top of page 3 has an advertisement for the "Boston Theatre" with a performance of: "WEATHERCOCK", with one of the principal characters being "Mrs. Poe" as "Varielia" She was the mother of Edgar Allan Poe.
Four pages, untrimmed, minor foxing, generally very nice.
