Here is a Bram Stoker signed letter we have sold in the past:
Bram Stoker Autograph Letter Signed — Dracula Fame
Abraham “Bram” Stoker (8 November 1847 – 20 April 1912) was an Irish author, best known today for his 1897 Gothic horror novel Dracula. During his lifetime, he was better known as the personal assistant of actor Sir Henry Irving and business manager of the Lyceum Theatre, which Irving owned. Dracula is an epistolary novel, written as a collection of realistic but completely fictional diary entries, telegrams, letters, ship’s logs, and newspaper clippings, all of which added a level of detailed realism to the story, a skill which Stoker had developed as a newspaper writer. At the time of its publication, Dracula was considered a “straightforward horror novel” based on imaginary creations of supernatural life. “It gave form to a universal fantasy … and became a part of popular culture.”
Bram Stoker handwritten letter on Lyceum Theatre stationery, signed by Henry Irving. Stoker, the author of “Dracula,” based the title character on Irving, for whom he worked at the Lyceum. Dated 30 September 1896, it reads in part: “…Dear Mr. Berlyn / Many thanks for the paragraph in the World. It is as you say necessary to remind some people that the history of the Lyceum did not begin with their interest in theatrical affairs…” 2pp. on card-style stationery measures 5″ x 8″. Toning and tape to interior at the top edge. Very good. Sold for $934.
