London Chronicle and Telegraph Excerpts on Art and Theatre
A scrambled excerpted column covers Gustave Doré’s floor as easel, Edward Young and Garrick on stage, a confession of theatrical mercantile gains, and a note on ventilation. It touches on Napoleonic dispatch wit, a tongue twister contest, and etymologies of family names, with satirical asides on fashion in society and run of the mill advertisements.
