Crystal-clear vintage matte-finish 6.5 x 9.5 photo of Twain in a seated three-quarter-length pose affixed to its original 13 x 17 A. F. Bradley photographer’s mount, crisply signed beneath the image in fountain pen, “Mark Twain.” In fine condition, with light edge toning and toned adhesive remnants to bottom edge. This was part of a series of photographs taken of Clemens in 1907, which were then autographed and sold to raise funds for those affected by the 1906 earthquake in San Francisco. Clemens himself regarded them as the best ever taken of him in his life, and they remain some of the most iconic images of the author extant. Pre-certified John Reznikoff/PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
