No publisher, place or date, perhaps circa 1879. Printed by the Forbes Co., Boston. Cards measure 5 ¾ by 2 ¾ inches and are printed on thin card stock. Obverse depicts characters from the drama "My Partner" in black and white against a gold background, with the reverse containing blurbs and praise for the play and actors. Characters depicted are: Mary Brandon, Grace Brandon (2 copies), Josiah Scraggs. My Partner was a drama by Bartley Campbell that debuted in 1879. It was a melodrama on mining camp life in the US West and a love triangle that resulted in murder. Somewhat notable for the play was that the young woman, Mary Brandon got pregnant before marriage, and rather than have her character meet a tragic end as Victorian convention would have it, she ended up living happily in the end. GOOD condition. All with moderate browning, some soiling, minor staining and wrinkling. Corners and extremities bumped and worn. Some writing on the reverses of all, with one copy of the Grace card being heavily browned and stained on the reverse.

Price: $20.00
