Description

Fountain pen signature, "Robert Frost, San Antonio 1937,” on an off-white 5.5 x 7.5 sheet imprinted with the text of his poem 'The Road Not Taken.' In fine condition, with a closely trimmed top edge.

‘The four-time Pulitzer Prize-winning poet, Robert Frost, paid multiple visits to San Antonio. He spent the winter here from December 1936 until late March 1937, taking up residence at a home close to Trinity University. The Frost family spent Christmas Day at the St. Anthony Hotel, where Robert Frost and his wife Elinor hosted a big dinner for 10 family members who had joined them in San Antonio for the festive season. During this stopover, he was interviewed by Frank Rosengren at a reception and signing held in his honor at Rosengren’s Books in the Milam building on Tuesday, March 23rd, 1937. The reception also served the purpose as an early birthday celebration for the famous poet, who was to turn 63 only three days later.’
