Iconic Treasures of Broadway: Hirschfeld Portrait of Legendary Shakespearean Actor Edwin Booth


There is Broadway memorabilia that is so rare, so unique and invaluable, so outstanding that they stand alone.  Most fans could only see these under glass or from behind barricades in a library or museum. Each can be yours to hang and display, to share with your admiring friends with pride.


Beloved caricaturist Al Hirschfeld was known for his portraits of Broadway stars. This extremely rare drawing of Edwin Booth playing Hamlet is a true treasure. One of the most acclaimed Shakespearean actors of the 19th century, Booth’s performance as Hamlet is often celebrated as one of the greatest. Signed by Mr. Hirschfeld, this portrait is number 109/150.
