STOKER LETTER JUST 2 MONTHS BEFORE THE PUBLICATION OF 'DRACULA'
Legendary "Dracula" author BRAM STOKER scarce fully handwritten letter dated March 24, 1897 on Lyceum Theater letterhead and signed at the conclusion in full as "Believe me, Sincerely, Bram Stoker". In his capacity as Business Manager of the theater, Stoker forwards a signed photograph of Lyceum owner and renowned Victorian stage actor, Sir Henry Irving.
This particular letter from Stoker comes just 2 short months before his magnum opus "Dracula" is published in May 1897 – although in his time it never achieved the global success it now enjoys today.
During his lifetime Stoker was perhaps better known as the personal assistant of famed actor Sir Henry Irving. Literary scholars have theorized that Stoker's tumultuous friendship with the charismatic Irving is said to be the true inspiration for the Gothic horror story of Van Helsing and his nemesis, Dracula.
The Stoker letter has been thoroughly reviewed and certified authentic by PSA/DNA EXPERT EXAMINATION and sealed inside PSA/DNA's proprietary sonically-sealed encapsulate. UNCONDITIONALLY GUARANTEED GENUINE.
Condition is as shown with scattered stains, toning, some light wrinkles, mailing fold at midline, all consistent with age, use and handling. Letter measures appx. 5" x 8" inside 10" x 13" sealed encapsulate.
