RR Autograph Auction Joyce Kilmer American writer
American writer (1886–1918), best known for the much-anthologized poem ‘Trees,’ who was killed at the Second Battle of Marne at the age of 31. Vintage matte-finish 3.5 x 5.5 photo of Kilmer in his Army uniform, signed in black ink, “Joyce Kilmer, France, May 1918.” Kilmer also adds on the reverse, “Personally, I think I look more like a dachshund than a Boston bull.” Silvering to darker areas of image, some light soiling and spots to borders, and some light soiling and notations to reverse, otherwise fine condition. Likely one of the last photos Kilmer signed as the Second Battle of the Marne began July 15, 1918. Pre-certified PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
