Antique hardback vocal score of Patience; or Bunthorne’s Bride! by W. S. Gilbert with music by Arthur Sullivan, published by Chappell & Co., London.

A fascinating Gilbert & Sullivan collectible featuring a period ink signature to the title page. Based on comparison with known examples, the signature may possibly be Arthur Sullivan, although it has not been authenticated. It is therefore being sold as an unverified signature, and buyers should satisfy themselves before purchase.

The score remains in good collectible condition for its age, with expected wear, rubbing and marks to the covers, together with age-related toning to the pages. Please study all photographs carefully as they form part of the description.

An excellent opportunity for collectors of Gilbert & Sullivan, Victorian and Edwardian theatre, antique music, autograph collectors or musical memorabilia.
