Description

British writer (1870-1945) who first came to prominence in the 1890s as the young intimate companion of Oscar Wilde. After Douglas' father, Lord Queensbury, accused Wilde of being a 'somdomite' [sic], Wilde filed the libel lawsuit that led to his own conviction and two-year prison term. Vintage glossy 3.25 x 5.25 bust-length postcard photo of the poet in a hat and coat, signed in fountain pen, "Alfred Douglas, 1932." In very good to fine condition, with several surface stains, one of which passes across Douglas's right cheek.
