---

This fantastic Calling Card / Boston Theater Show Pass measures approx. 3 7/8" by 2 1/4" and features printed text that reads simply "Mrs. Langtry". The lovely Lillie Langtry has covered the majority of the blank space on this fantastic Calling Card with hand written text that reads "Admit bearer & friend & do the best in house / Globe Theater Boston".

This wonderful Calling card itself is a very rare and highly desirable piece of Theatrical memorabilia - to have it used by Lillie Langtry as a "Complimentary Ticket" to a performance in which she appeared make it a most unusual and wonderful item.

We have found no other examples of 19th century "Complimentary Passes" issued by Langtry that have been offered for sale in the past 10+ years. We believe that the Calling Card / Complimentary Pass offered here is exceptionally rare as we would guess that, in most cases, the recipient of such a Pass would have surrendered it upon admission to the Show!!

We will not attempt to summarize the storied history of the larger than life figure that was Lillie Langtry - we assume those interested in this wonderful Inscriber Calling Card will likely know more than we do about her life and stage career. Suffice it to say that we are proud to be able to offer this wonderful piece of Theatrical Memorabilia, as always, without reserve and with the confidence that it will attract the serious attention that it justly deserves.
