Lot 576: Autograph: Henrik Ibsen

Autograph: Henrik Ibsen - Revered Norwegian playwright and poet (1828-1906) whose works, including A Doll's House and Hedda Gabler, made him one of the seminal figures in the forefront of modern drama. Scarce original vintage 2.5 x 4 carte-de-visite photo of the spectacled and heavily whiskered playwright sternly eyeing the camera, by Joseph Albert Studios in Munich, signed along the bottom of the image in black ink. In fine condition, with image having been very carefully removed from its original card mount with no ill effect whatsoever. All autograph material of Ibsen is avidly sought, and signed images are particularly scarce.
