Description

"Mr. Irving desires me to send you the enclosed dimensions of the Lyceum"

ALS signed “Bram Stoker, Acting Manager,” one page, 5 x 8, blindstamped Lyceum Theatre letterhead, March 6, 1886. Handwritten letter to an unidentified gentleman, sent by Bram Stoker on behalf of Henry Irving, in full: "Mr. Irving desires me to send you the enclosed dimensions of the Lyceum with his kind regards." In fine condition, with a faint stain to the central horizontal fold from an old tape repair on the back.

Stoker worked as business manager for Henry Irving's world-famous Lyceum Theatre in London between 1879 and 1898, where he supplemented his income by writing a large number of sensational novels—his most famous being the vampire tale Dracula, published in 1897.
