This item was formerly in the collection of John Cannon, the respected G&S collector and researcher who died in 2021. He left instructions that all collectors should have a chance to acquire the treasures in his collection, which will therefore be auctioned here over the next year or so by StageMemories and PaperJoys. Please let us know if you would like to be added to a mailing list, to be informed of all or specific items from John’s collection.
Dimensions: 6 inches x 8 inches
Condition: Quite Good. Repair has been made to a few corners. There is a little age staining, slight creasing and just a few general signs of age wear.
