Lot 592: Henrik Ibsen Revered Norwegian playwright and poet

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. Original vintage 4.25 x 6.5 three-quarter length cabinet photo of the spectacled and heavily whiskered playwright sternly eyeing the camera, by Joseph Albert, signed in the lower border in fountain pen. In fine condition, with a small tack hole to lower left corner, slight chipping and corner rounding to top left, and a small spot of discoloration to lower right under image. All autograph material of Ibsen is avidly sought, and signed images are particularly scarce. Pre-certified John Reznikoff/PSA/DNA and RRAuction COA.
