An Original Envelope Free Front Signed By William Harrison Ainsworth. His personal seal to the rear. C1878. William Harrison Ainsworth 1805 - 1882 was an English historical novelist born at King Street in Manchester. He trained as a lawyer, but the legal profession held no attraction for him. While completing his legal studies in London he met the publisher John Ebers. Ebers introduced Ainsworth to literary and dramatic circles, and to his daughter, who became Ainsworth's wife. Ainsworth briefly tried the publishing business, but soon gave it up and devoted himself to journalism and literature. His first success as a writer came with Rookwood in 1834, which features Dick Turpin as its leading character. A stream of 39 novels followed, the last of which appeared in 1881. Ainsworth died in Reigate on 3 January 1882, and was buried in Kensal Green Cemetery. Size 120mm x 95mm. Condition is good. Age toning. Rear top of envelope missing. Seal present. More images can be taken upon request. Ref 16874. N° de ref. del artículo 023908
