Item Details

Description

Raphael J. de Cordova (1822-1901) lecturer and humorist, born in Jamaica, West Indies, in 1822; died in London, England, April 4, 1901. He removed to New York city in 1849, and was employed in the commission house of Aymer & Co. till 1870. In that year, with his two sons as partners, he established a tea business in New York. The firm was dissolved in 1885, and after 1893 Mr. De Cordova resided in London. During the financial panic of 1857 he turned to the lecture platform, on which he had already achieved success. His subjects were humorous and the lectures very popular. He was a regular contributor to the New York newspapers, and wrote several books, one of which, The Prince's Visit, published shortly after the visit of the Prince of Wales to the United States, had a large sale. He was an expert linguist. Autograph Letter Signed, 1868, 1p, approx. 5 x 8-1/4 in. plus CDV PHOTOGRAPH. Two pieces. VG
