SAMUEL CLEMENS AND FRIENDS
WE ARE VERY HAPPY TO HAVE ADDED A GREAT TINTYPE OF SAMUEL CLEMENS , PEN NAME MARK TWAIN , AND THREE OF HIS FRIENDS TO OUR COLLECTION. I WOULD DATE THIS TINTYPE TO AROUND 1880 OR SO. THE PHOTO SHOWS CLEMENS SITTING OUTSIDE ON THE GRASS WITH THREE FRIENDS. WE HAVE IDENTIFIED ONE FRIEND AS WILLIAM DEAN HOWELLS AND BELIEVE ANOTHER IS DAVID GRAY OF BUFFALO. BOTH LIFELONG FRIENDS OF CLEMENS . THE THIRD FRIEND WE ARE UNSURE OF AND WILL NEED HELP IDENTIFYING. A GREAT PHOTO OF ONE OF THE BEST AMERICAN AUTHORS AND MAN OF HUMOR.
