<head>Biographical Note</head>
<p>Christopher Coover received his Bachelor of Arts degree in Music from
the State University of New York at Buffalo in 1973. While at the university he
studied lute. After leaving Buffalo he moved to New York City where he earned a
degree in library science at Columbia University in 1983. He began working for
the noted auction house, Christie's, in 1980 and at this writing is a senior
vice president and specialist in manuscripts at Christie&#x2019;s in New York City. He
has also served as an appraiser on the popular television program, Antiques
Roadshow.</p>

<head>Historical Note</head>
<p>Theater broadsides, or playbills, contain more than just a record of
theatrical performances and practices. They also reflect contemporaneous
cultural tastes and often contain allusions to historical events. One aspect of
the information that is most easily appreciated is the repertoire of music and
plays stated in the playbills. Shakespeare is the most-performed playwright in
this collection that spans the years 1790-1868. Performances of fourteen of his
plays are advertised on eleven of the playbills for a total of twenty
performances. There are more than seventy works named in the collection and
approximately four hundred names, including managers, singers, dancers,
authors, actors, printers, and other performers. Notable names include Henry R.
Bishop, John Braham, Angelica Catalani, Christy Minstrels, Mrs. Faucit (Harriet
Elizabeth Diddear), Fanny Elssler, Catherine Hayes, Charles Benjamin Incledon,
Robert Keeley, William Macready, Henry Marston, Samuel Phelps, John Sinclair,
Catherine Stephens, John Vandenhoff, and Benjamin Webster.</p>
<p> Represented on the playbill for the 1868 Boston Theatre performance
is a rare American performance by French performer, Jules Leotard (1842-1870).
Leotard is usually credited with being the first trapeze artist. The article of
clothing, the leotard, is named after the costume he made famous and the George
Leybourne song,
<title>The Daring young man on the flying trapeze</title>, was inspired
by Leotard.</p>
<p>The collection contains nine playbills from the Sadler's Wells
Theatre. They represent the entire span of years (1844-1862) during which the
theater was managed and directed by Samuel Phelps. The first playbill in the
sequence, dated 11 August 1844, is presumably the first playbill for the
theater under the new management of Phelps and Mary Warner. Its verso contains
a lengthy statement about the goals for the theater with reference to the 1843
Theatre Regulation Act. The nine playbills for Sadler's Wells give proof to
Phelps' goals for a higher level of programming. Over the course of his
thirteen-year management there were thirty performances of Shakespeare plays.
The collection also contains a playbill for a performance by Samuel Phelps at
Sadler's Wells on 25 October 1862. This was after he had resigned from the
theater and the playbill advertises an upcoming performance as being his
farewell benefit.</p>
<p>The playbill for Sadler's Wells dated 22 September 1849 contains an
unusual statement: "... this evening, Friday, Sept. 21st, there will be no
performance, in consequence of the Churchwardens of the Parish having appointed
the day as one of humiliation and prayer". This is most likely due to the
cholera epidemic that killed more than 33,000 people in Great Britain in 1849,
including approximately 13,000 people in London. </p>
