Lengthy two page article from the New York Times Magazine describing the life and death of Edmund Kean. The subheading reads "Poverty, Fame and Bitterness Were the Lot of Edmund Kean, Who Passed from the Scene a Century Ago." An inset reproduction of J.J. Halls' painting shows Kean as Richard III, with the quote "He Was the Supreme Embodiment of the Crookback King." The article also briefly includes contemporary praise for Kean by such names as Lord Byron, William Hazlit, and John Philip, all in praise of his performance as Richard.
