Item description from seller

Description: This copy is Signed by the author. The color art on the jacket is not credited, and I cannot quite make out the artist's signature. The black and white illustrations include a frontis portrait, plus ten double sided plates. From the jacket flap: ''Lotta, who became the most popular soubrette of the seventies and eighties, began her career in the gold camps of the High Sierras, and the gambling saloons and variety halls of San Francisco. Troupes appeared not only in the theatres of the cities, but took to the road by stage coach or even on foot and played in the remotest mining towns with showers of gold as their reward. This is the story of the fascinating Lotta who emerged out of this background to become throughout the country the foremost comedy actress and the pioneer in extravaganza and burlesque. (from the jacket flap). Includes much about other entertainers of the time, including Ada Menken, Lola Montez, the Booths, Julia Dean, and more. Wheat's California Gold Rush, Number 170.
