Ada Rehan A Study

"Sarony was the photographer, nine are credited to him, but many may not be by him. The photogravures are by the Photogravure Co., New York. This elaborate souvenir book is in a decorative cloth binding that has slits to allow a ribbon through printed in gold with the title 'A Daughter of Comedy.' It can betied in a bow. It is important to note that Ms. Rehan was an actress of enormous fame from 1870 through to 1900. Augustin Daly was the impresario, writer and director that ran the most important theater in New York City at this time. It would be interesting to know how this book was marketed. The 1898 edition is in halftone."--David Hanson documentation.
