Famed stage actor (1833–1893) who toured the United States and Europe performing the plays of Shakespeare; his legacy as the greatest American actor of the 19th century has been overshadowed by that of his brother, John Wilkes Booth, assassin of President Abraham Lincoln. Heartwarming original vintage 8.5 x 5.25 mounted albumen photograph of Edwin Booth with his granddaughter, Mildred, sitting on a seaside porch. In fine condition. Originates directly from the collection of the great-great granddaughter of Edwin Booth.
