COOKE, George A. (1825 ? 1905). Engraved Calling Card. Circa 1870. Fine business card on ivory stock bearing, in fancy script, the text, ?Mr. G. A. Cooke / Maskelyne & Cooke." 1 ? x 3". RARE.Cooke began his partnership with Maskelyne in 1865. This object may date to the years prior to their decades-long tenancy at London's Egyptian Hall, as the name of the theatre is conspicuously absent from the card.
