HELEN FAUCIT (LADY MARTIN)
Handwritten sentiment of the English actress
Autograph Sentiment signed: "With regard dear Sir/Most
Sincerely/Helen Faucit", 3½x1 slip of paper affixed to another slip of paper
of the same size. Helen Faucit (1817-1898) made her regional stage
debut in 1833 (in Romeo and Juliet), but did not appear on a
London stage (Covent Garden) until 1836. From the latter date, she was
recognized as one of England's most talented actresses. She worked with famed
actor William Charles Macready from 1836 to 1845, and mostly toured thereafter.
Faucit was especially praised for her Shakespearean roles, tragedies and
comedies alike, and there is a tablet dedicated to her at the Shakespeare
Memorial in Stratford-on-Avon. In 1851 she married Theodore Martin, the
biographer of Queen Victoria's consort, Prince Albert. When Martin was knighted,
she became Lady Martin. Light foxing (not affecting signature). Minor
unknown residue at face (not affecting signature). Otherwise, fine
condition.
