SEAN O'CASEY. Borderless semi-glossy 8x10 black and white bust portrait, boldly signed in blue fountain pen, "Yours Sincerely/Sean O'Casey." Near very fine condition, with a faint paper clip impression at the top center and a mild bend in the upper right corner, barely visible and not detracting from overall appearance. Accompanied by a one-page ANS, 8vo, on the playwright's stationery, Devon, 14 May, 1961: "Dear Mr. Strutz: Enclosed is the Picture you have asked for - the old Irish dial of a Dubliner. Hardly likely you'll like the kisser as much as the plays; but it's the best, and only, one I have. All good wishes - Sean O'Casey."
