1800WRCAM32859London: Hughes 1800. Broadside 10 x 7 1/4 inches. Mounted onto a later sheet. Minor soiling. Very good. An engaging broadside for a theatre performance centered around a drama called "The Africans." The scenery for the play is taken from the work of the intrepid British explorer Mungo Park and features views of the African coast and interior "Omai's Cave" and warrior huts. The characters include Omai an African Chief evidently confusing him with the famed Omai from the South Seas warriors named Wahedooa Tongataboo Tiaiarboo and Kiahiargo and a Princess named Terapo. The bill promises an evening in which "the retributive hand of Providence will manifest its abhorrence of Vice; and Virtue and Constancy eventually triumphant."

1880List322Philadelphia: Studio of Joachim Gutekunst 1880. Mammoth albumen print on card mount with original gilt lettered mat 12 ¼ x 15 ¼ inches mat measuring 20 x 23 ½ inches. Very Good. Edwin Booth was a highly successful Shakespearean actor considered by some critics to be the greatest actor of his day. His career was complicated considerably by his relation to his brother John Wilkes Booth who Edwin would disown and refuse to mention following the assassination of President Lincoln Edwin rather poetically saved Abraham Lincoln's son Robert Todd Lincoln from possible death on a Jersey City train platform several months prior to the assassination pulling him up from between the tracks after he had been knocked off the train by a crowd. Booth had connections to Philadelphia owning a theatre there in the 1860s and this photograph was probably taken sometime after he had resumed his touring career after his Booth Theater in New York City closed in 1974 and judging from his age our best guess is that this was taken in the 1880s. Joachim Gutekunst was a highly prolific and successful photographer who enjoyed a four-decade career in Philadelphia with studios in various locations. We find no other record of this mammoth albumen portrait. A generally bright and well preserved print that has survived admirably with one small closed tear to the photograph of about half an inch.
