This edition was translated by Howard Thayer Kinsbury and was accepted and played by Richard Mansfield. This copy has a picture of Mansfield in costume with his signature printed underneat. Mansfield was the first actor to play Cyrano in the United States in an all English production of the play. The book also contains an old newspaper article regarding a lecture about the play. The book is bound in a hard cover, red binding with silver lettering . The silver is still bright. The edges do some some wear and the first 3 pages are loose from the binding though the tissue guard is still inserted after the portrait page. No pages appear to be missing.
