ORIGINAL INSCRIBED PHOTOGRAPH OF JOHN BURROUGHS
BURROUGHS, John. Original photograph inscribed. No place, no date. Photograph measures 3-/12 by 4-1/2 inches, inscribed on the verso. $900.
Original sepia-tint photograph of John Burroughs in his later years at his cabin "Slabsides," inscribed by him on the verso, "For Mr. & Mrs. W. E. Connor. Merry Xmas. John Burroughs."
"Slabsides," Burroughs' secluded cabin retreat in the hills near the Hudson River, was a mecca for friends and admirers from 1895 until his death in 1921. On two days a year it is still possible to visit the interior of the cabin, which has been left untouched since Burroughs' death.
Evidence of removal from corner mounts to corners. A lovely image of Burroughs in his later years.
