Irving, Henry, Sir, 1838-1905
The Maurice Willson Disher collection on Henry Irving and the Lyceum Theatre Company consists of material relating to the English actor Henry Irving (1838-1905) and the Lyceum Theatre company, assembled by Maurice Willson Disher (1893-1969), English critic and author. The bulk of the material, including correspondence, financial records, and memorabilia, survived a clearance of the Lyceum Theatre sometime after 1903. Disher purchased them at an auction.
