Description

Rare Thomas portrait inscribed in the year of his death, “Once a gypsy, from an amateur skintrader”

Celebrated Welsh poet (1914–1953) who, before dying of alcoholism at the age of 39, produced some of the most remarkable verse of the twentieth century, including ‘And Death Shall Have No Dominion’ and ‘A Refusal to Mourn the Death, by Fire, of a Girl in London.’ Incredibly scarce vintage glossy 5 x 6.75 photo, signed and inscribed in blue ink “To Victor Weyright, once a gypsy, from an amateur skintrader. Dylan Thomas 1953.” Photo is affixed to an identical sized card. In very good condition, with scattered light creases and surface marks, paperclip impression to left edge, and signature and inscription a shade or two light, but still completely legible. A rare photo with a nice reference to his then unpublished work ‘Adventures in the Skin Trade.” Pre-certified PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
