Description
BERGMAN INGRID: (1915-1982) Swedish actress, Academy Award winner. Bergman's personal school exercise book, the 8vo book with blue paper covers comprising eighteen pages of text entirely penned by Bergman in her neat juvenile hand in black fountain pen ink, in Swedish, c.1925. The cover features a printed label affixed to the centre with the words Heikes Linjerade Skrivbocker II, Kalligrafias Forlag, Stockholm printed upon it. To the label Bergman has added, in her own hand, the words 'Ovningsbok, Klass I' and signed her name in full. The contents of the notebook appear largely to be handwriting exercises relating to the months of the year, the number of months and days in a year etc. Just one schoolteacher's mark appears in red ink to the border of one page - Bergman was awarded a B+ for her efforts. Accompanied by a loosely inserted sheet of blotting paper signed ('Ingrid Bergman') twice by the future actress in a juvenile hand and also bearing a few other ink annotations, including the name Astrid. Extremely rare in this form. VG In her autobiography, My Story, Bergman briefly recalls memories of her school education where she describes herself as a shy pupil and also tells of her father's influence on her education - 'Papa thought education after a certain level was a waste of time....What d'you want to go to school for? You can do your sums and you can write. Now you're wasting time.'
