Theatre Royal (Liverpool, England) playbills: portfolio, 1829-1830

The Stedman Collection is a collection of materials related to the history of theater and the performing arts, housed at the New York Public Library (NYPL). The collection contains a wide range of materials, including playbills, posters, photographs, manuscripts, and other documents that document the history of theater in New York City and beyond. The collection is named after George Stedman, a theater historian and collector who donated his extensive collection of theater materials to the NYPL in the 1920s. The collection is particularly strong in materials from the 19th and early 20th centuries, including materials related to the Federal Theatre Project and other New Deal-era theater programs. - Picryl Description
