Description

Brilliant signed portrait of "Mark Twain"

Exceptional vintage matte-finish 3.5 x 5.5 Rotary postcard photo of Samuel L. Clemens by H. T. Reed of London, which shows the writer seated in a wicker chair with a newspaper on his lap, signed vertically with his nom de plume in fountain pen, “Mark Twain.” In fine condition, with some light silvering to the bottom edge of the image. A wonderful and uncommon portrait of the revered author made special by the presence of his neatly and boldly signed pen name.
