Orson Welles (actor) KING LEAR (1953, 1956) Theatre photo archive

Various. No binding. Very Good+. New York: 1953, 1956. Set of 3 vintage original 7 x 9" (18 x 23 cm) black-and-white photos. One is from a live CBS television performance broadcast on Oct 18, 1953; the other two are from a Jan 14, 1956, Broadway production at New York City Center. All have photographer and date ink stamps as well as attached paper blurb on versos. Mild handling wear and creasing at corners, overall very good+. Orson Welles had broken his leg and had to perform Lear in a wheelchair. The production received a live television broadcast.
