Description

The War and Peace author in English and Cyrillic—signed on the reverse of Shakespearian quotes

Uncommon ink signatures in both English and Cyrillic, “Leo Tolstoy,” on an off-white 2.75 x 1.5 slip clipped from a calendar book, featuring two printed Shakespeare quotes on the reverse, one from Tempest and one from King John. In fine condition. Scarce in either form, this is a remarkable example of the two versions of Tolstoy’s signature, made all the more desirable by its association with Shakespeare—two of the most important authors in the history of literature. Pre-certified PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
