Le prisonnier de la Bastille, la fin des mousquetaires, 3 tableaux
Manuscripts
An autograph manuscript in three sections, written in French, possibly in the hand of Alexandre Dumas; there are pencil notes stating it is partially written by Dumas, but he also employed many assistants to help with his work. It includes settings and stage directions for the tableaux 1-3. The approximate date of the manuscript is 1861 which would mean the manuscript could have been written while Dumas was living in Italy. The manuscript has some damage to the edges of the pages and in the center of the final pages. It is accompanied by materials which provide additional provenance information: autograph notes about the manuscript in an unknown hand; Janet Saville letter to Robert M. Foster, October 18, 1951, with envelope; Thorndike Saville, Jr., letter to David M. Foster, November 16, 2010, with envelope and copy of bank record.
