Catalogue Note
Mark Twain thanks Bram Stoker for a picture of Henry Irving
"My Dear Stoker: It is a wonderful picture. I have never seen one of Irving before that could at all compare with it. I don't know how to thank you enough".
The famous British actor Henry Irving was one of the inspirations for Count Dracula, the title character of the 1897 novel Dracula.
