Completely vintage 1907 photograph of a pensive Mark Twain relaxing at his home and looking over a magazine and reading up on his competition. This is a vintage Underwood and Underwood photograph (unstamped but from their archive) and is the only example of this image that we have ever handled. It presents well, crystal clear, and with note to a little wear at the corners from news-room handling. Images of Twain are rare and this is one we have never seen before with crystal clarity. Guaranteed original to 1907!
