1. Cover of script of Our Boys by Henry James Byron, c. 1880. The title Our Boys is prominently displayed, likely in bold, decorative Victorian-era fonts that were common in theatrical playbills and publications. Henry J. Byron would be clearly credited, possibly with additional information about his other works or credentials as a playwright.
