RARE 7x9.4 B&W glossy vintage photograph signed by Nelly Sachs in blue ballpoint ink. Stamped on the back "Mon Oct 24 1966." Some waviness and light creasing, otherwise, in very good condition. (1891-1970) Nelly Sachs was a German–Swedish poet and playwright. Her experiences resulting from the rise of the Nazis in World War II Europe transformed her into a poignant spokesperson for the grief and yearnings of her fellow Jews. Her best-known play is Eli: Ein Mysterienspiel vom Leiden Israels (1950); other works include the poems "Zeichen im Sand" (1962), "Verzauberung" (1970), and the collections of poetry In den Wohnungen des Todes (1947), Flucht und Verwandlung (1959), Fahrt ins Staublose (1961), and Suche nach Lebenden (1971). She was awarded the 1966 Nobel Prize in Literature.This lot came from the Jim Wiggins collection we purchased in July 2022.
