Author: Boucicault, Dionysius Lardner "Dion" (1820[2]-1890). Irish actor & playwright famed for his melodramas.
Title: Autograph: Close of a Letter Signed by the Irish Actor & Playwright Dion Boucicault.
Description: Mid-19th Century. - A few words to do with financial arrangements penned on 2-3/4 inch high by 4-3/8 inch wide buff paper signed "Yours faithfully Dion Boucicault". Once folded, the paper is mounted onto stiffer backing and the corners have been clipped. Very good.
