19th Century Pen and Ink Portrait

Description

19th Century pen and ink portrait inscribed C. J. Abud (also inscribed indistinctly top left). In fine condition.

The only reference to a C. J. Abud I can find is in a 1982 New York Evening Post:
Mr. C. J . Abud, formerly acting manager of the Gaiety Theatre, has taken an eighteen year lease of the Prince of Wales Theatre, and today assumes control. His first venture will be the new comic opera "Blue-Eyed Susan" by G. R. Sims and Henry Pettitt, with a musical setting by Osmond Carr. Mr. Arthur Roberts, the Captain Croutree of the Alhambra production, again appears in that character. Miss Marion Burton will play William, and Miss Nellie Stewart of Australia is to be Susan. Grace Pedley, Katie Seymour, Chauncey Olcott, and Arthur Williams are to be in the cast.
