Henry Irving A Record Review PDF Download

Excerpt from Henry Irving: A Record and Review The rooted objection of Sir Henry Irving to be photographed in character has made the adequate illustration of this volume by no means an easy matter. To his good nature, and to the kindly advice of Mr. Bram Stoker and Mr. Charles Howson, the presence of not a few of the pictures which adorn these pages is due. Some of them are already familiar to the public, but others are now published for the first time. A list of the artists and owners of copyright who have laid me under obligations would, how ever carefully compiled, almost certainly contain serious omissions. I hope, therefore, that those whose names would be included in such a list will acquit me of intentional discourtesy or ingratitude. The cover of the book has been specially designed by Mr. Gordon Craig. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
