RARE 6X7.5 vintage B&W glossy photograph signed in ballpoint ink by Pär Lagerkvist. A light crease, otherwise excellent. Stamped on the verso Nov 19 1951. (1891-1974) Pär Fabian Lagerkvist was a Swedish author who received the 1951 Nobel Prize in Literature.Lagerkvist wrote poetry, plays, novels, short stories, and essays of considerable expressive power and influence from his early 20s to his late 70s. One of his central themes was the fundamental question of good and evil, which he examined through such figures as Barabbas, the man who was freed instead of Jesus, and Ahasuerus, the Wandering Jew. As a moralist, he used religious motifs and figures from the Christian tradition without following the doctrines of a church.This lot came from the Jim Wiggins collection we purchased in July 2022. Jim Wiggins accumulated the most unique and valuable autograph collection over a period of 70-plus years. He obtained his collection either in person or by writing to persons of fame and notoriety. Comes with a full Letter of Authenticity from Todd Mueller Authentics.
