Brilliant vintage matte-finish 6.5 x 9 head-and-shoulders portrait of London wearing a suit and tie, vertically signed within his shirt area in fountain pen, “Jack London, March 14, 1913.” Double-matted and framed to an overall size of 13.5 x 15.5. In fine condition, with slight fading to the handwriting, and light silvering to the perimeter. In 1913, among various short stories and poetry, London published a pair of fictitious novels—The Abysmal Brute and The Valley of the Moon—and what would be his final autobiographical novel in John Barleycorn, a book that dealt with his fondness for drink and subsequent struggles with alcoholism. London is scarce in signed photos, with this example being the largest we’ve ever offered. Pre-certified PSA/DNA.
