Description:
Dewsbury: Dawson & Son, Printers, 1901. Unbound. Very Good. Large broadside. Approximately 9¾" x 30". Printed in blue ink in several type sizes. Several old horizontal folds, one short tear, and modest chips to the right margin affecting no text, very good. Broadside for a play apparently created to capitalize on the vampire craze precipitated by Stoker's novel *Dracula* (published in 1897), which in turn was derived from medieval legends. The broadside gives detailed information on the members of the cast including "The Vampire - The Black Death of Paris - by Itself," "Ritza, The High Priest of Karma," and various heiresses, detectives, and so forth. Also provided is the sequence of the acts and scenes. The play premiered in early 1900; this particular performance is advertised here for the week of August 12th, 1901. A very attractive contemporary evocation of the fascination for vampires, which doesn't seem to have waned. A detailed internet search for this play revealed little beyond a few…
