Description: After appearing in virtually every opera in Covent Garden in London between 1846 and 1876, in 1877 this French operatic bass was named manager of that house; in later years composed music and also wrote and translated librettos. AMuQS, 1p, 4½" X 7¼, Dublin, Ireland, 8 October 1875. Fine.
