This is a unique find, in any condition, the Album is complete with original ribbon that ties it all together.There are 22 pages, including the front cover. There are 17 pages with photographs and each of these pages have an accompanying tissue. These tissues are what are 'dog-earred', but they are all there and carry the legend of the photograph behind them. Three pages have some of the musical themes from the play- 1)The Star of Bethlehem 2)Spinning of Arachne and 3)Jesus of Nazareth. The first page shows a small photograph of Gen. Lew Wallace, who developed(wrote)Ben Hur along with all the other credits. The cover has a 1900 copyright, by Klaw & Erlanger and they were the company who produced the play. The performing company was apparently The Courier Company of Buffalo. The only thing we didn't find was a credit for the artist who did the cover or the pen and ink sketches throughout the album. This is truly a spectacular creation...
