A Biographical Dictionary of Actors, Volume 12, Pinner to Rizzo Volume 12

“No major reference library can afford to ignore these works in which the authors . . . continue their census of London theatrical persons of all ranks, from the Restoration to the Regency—clowns and carpenters, scene painters and strolling players, dancers and dwarfs, managers and monologists. Theirs is the fruit of a search of many years through 65 libraries. The entries are illuminated by portraits and illustrations gleaned from public galleries and private collections all over the world. The set is a reference work of the first order.”—Theatre and Performing Arts Collections
