The limited large paper edition of Walter Baynham's (1832-1916) history of The Glasgow Stage. Baynham, a former tutor at the Glasgow Athenaeum, was respected for his lectures on Dickens and Shakespeare. This study, dedicated to stage actor and friend of the author Sir Henry Irving (1838-1905), is a comprehensive record of the play-houses, players and dramatical productions in the City of Glasgow since the days of early Church theatre.
