FORD'S THEATER HANDBILL
A rare Civil War date, ca. 1864, printed Ford's Theater, Washington, broadside octavo penny song sheet: "A Bouquet for OUR MAGGIE. The Shadow Dance" Written by Ralph Waldo Emerson, this poem was dedicated to famed 19th Century actress Maggie Mitchell and reads, in small part: "What! dancing with your shadow…in the moon. Is that the only lover of a child-heart full of June?…Every maiden has a lover…with the sweet decree of instinct, seeks it gentle counterpart…". Printed on thin tissue paper. A rare piece of Ford's Theater ephemera. Only one variant of the song sheet can be found in our research and that one is located at Duke University. Minor toning with upper right hand margin loss, else VG.
