ORIGINAL STUDIO PORTRAIT PHOTOGRAPH INSCRIBED.
1916Best.-Nr. 64676N.p. ca. 1916. Inscribed twice by Clemens 1874-1962 the sole surviving child of Samuel Clemens. On the photograph itself she has written: "To Miss Howland with the cordial wishes of Clara Clemens." The recipient is further identified by the inscription on the verso from Alma Gluck the Romanian-born American soprano accompanied by a clipped portrait photo from a magazine to "Enid Howland." Additionally Clemens has inscribed the mount: "Most cordially Yours Clara Clemens Sept. 16th 1916." Clara was after her father's death the controversial custodian of his estate and literary rights. She published her biography of him in 1931 along with books on other subjects and worked at a career in singing with which this artifact is likely connected. Mounted and evidently extracted from an album amicorum or scrapbook with another party's photo and inscription on verso. Mount a bit chipped and edge-torn faint crease on photo otherwise good. Enclosed in oversize half-morocco slipcase. unknown books
