Illustrated beautifully throughout with four full-page colour plates and numerous textual monochrome drawings by Robert Hodgson. Bound in the publisher's original crisp cloth boards with sharp lettering to the spine.The book is structurally excellent, presenting in Near Fine condition. The binding remains remarkably tight, square, and robust. Internally, the pages are fresh, clean, and bright; completely free from previous owner inscriptions, library stamps, or annotations.Condition & Dust Jacket Notes:The original dust jacket presents very well, retaining its vibrant, nicely balanced, and even colour palette. The jacket is corner-clipped twice to the inside flap margins, exhibiting minor edge-wear, a small trace of loss to the spine extremities, and a small fingernail tear to the spine head. The book block itself exhibits a single, minor superficial nudge to the spine head corresponding to the jacket loss, but remains an exceptionally honest, neat, and highly collectable example.Historical Summary:Part of the celebrated Nelson's Picture Biographies series, this final work by the legendary London theatre historian W. Macqueen-Pope chronicles the turbulent, brilliant life of Edmund Kean (1787-1833). The narrative expertly tracks Kean's journey from poverty to his absolute reign as Britain's premier Shakespearean tragic actor at Drury Lane, beautifully captured alongside Robert Hodgson's brilliant mid-century historical illustrations. NB: this was the Author's last book. Robert Hodgson (illustrator).…
