Brief description: Charles Dickens's ivory theatre pass when he was editor of 'The Daily News'
Label: This ivory theatre pass (called a 'bone') to Her Majesty's Theatre, Haymarket, London was used by Charles Dickens when he was editor of The Daily News, the newspaper he founded in 1846. The pass worked like an annual season ticket, allowing Dickens access to watch performances at the theatre. The theatre Dickens visted was the second on that site, the first having burned down in 1789. It would itself burn down in 1867.
