Playbill (305 × 183 mm), some light offsetting, lower edge a little rough.
Featuring Junius Brutus Booth (1796–1852), the first of the Booth family to tread the boards. His father, Richard, ‘had left England intending to fight for American independence, and America remained his mecca. Junius was classically educated, and, after trying painting, printing, the navy, law, and sculpture, settled on acting. He first appeared with an amateur company, then … made his professional début as Campillo in The Honey Moon on 13 December 1813 in Deptford’ (Oxford DNB). Original DNB states that Booth made his Covent Garden debut, as Silvius in As You Like It, on 18 October 1815 (and not 19 February 1816, as given in Oxford DNB). He eloped to America in 1821, performing in various theatres there, as well as keeping a farm in Maryland; he is buried at Baltimore.
