LABICHE (Eugène).
Le choix d'un gendre - "Pochade en 1 acte". Autograph manuscript, (s.l.n.d.). 59 folio pages from 1 to 61 including one page numbered 26-27-28, in-4 on Hudelist d'Hallines laid paper; handsome brown half cloth wrappers with corners, red morocco title-piece on first board and spine, gilt author and title, double gilt fillet framing (some foxing, title-page torn with no text missing). A very interesting manuscript entirely written by hand, with variations from the printed version. The manuscript contains numerous corrections, including entire passages that have been crossed out, the title was originally "L'Art de choisir un gendre", and some of the dialogue has been rewritten to make it more zany. This play was written in collaboration with the vaudevillist and librettist Alfred Delacour and premiered at the Théâtre du Vaudeville on April 22, 1869. Reproduction on the back cover.
