Manuscripts
A collection containing letters, manuscripts, and ephemera related to John Hollingshead. The letters are mostly addressed to John Hollingshead from 1860 to 1891, concerning the management of the Gaiety Theatre. The material in this collection was originally mounted in two volumes and was later removed by Huntington staff; the material still retains some glue and evidence of removal. Some items in the collection were trimmed down, with loss of text, by the original owner. Correspondents in the collection include, among others, Dion Boucicault, John B. Buckstone, Wilkie Collins, George Eliot, Charles W. Dilke, William S. Gilbert, Henry Irving, Blanchard Jerrold, Ellen Kean, Francis Knollys, James Macaulay, Florence Marryat, Westland Marston, Charles Mathews, James R. Planché, Charles Reade, Eyre Massey Shaw, Alexander Strahan, Algernon Swinburne, Anthony Trollope, James Whistler, Oscar Wilde, and Edmund Yates.
