Norwegian writer (1859-1952), who was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1920. Best remembered for his works Hunger, Mysteries, Pan, Victoria, and his 'Nordland novels,' Hamson pioneered psychological literature with techniques of stream of consciousness and interior monologue, and influenced authors such as Thomas Mann, Franz Kafka, Maxim Gorky, Stefan Zweig, Henry Miller, Hermann Hesse, and Ernest Hemingway. Very desirable vintage matte-finish 7 x 9.25 photo of Hamson by the Wilse Studios of Oslo, signed and inscribed in black ink, "To Mr. Nicholas Carroll, from Knut Hamson, Norholm, Sept. 3. 1931.” Photo also signed by revered Norwegian photographer Anders Beer Wilse, whose studio blindstamp is present in the lower right. The photo is affixed to a slightly larger sheet. In fine to very fine condition. Accompanied by the front panel of the original mailing envelope, addressed in Hamson's own hand.
