[Literature] Eliot, T. S. (1888–1965)
Signed Letter to George Platt Lynes
Very interesting typed and signed personal letter from Eliot, praising the photographs of himself taken by the important American photographer, George Platt Lynes (1905 - 1955), writing that "the total effect gives me an impression that I look like a moderately good film actor in a variety of parts. I prefer myself in the apparent role of big executive to my part as a kind of plain clothes man in a William Powell film." 1 page, dated 22 September, 1947. Unevenly trimmed along the upper and right edges, a couple of smudges, and repaired surface tears on verso, hinged at top edge to archival backing. (7636)TLS Literature
