[Literature & Art] Twain, Mark. [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1834–1910). Portrait with Autograph Signed Quotation. Wien: Verlag Dagobert Wlashim. [1898]. AQS on an oblong postcard with a printed portrait of the author at the left with a facsimile signature, inscribed and signed in the blank area in ink: "It is not best to use our morals weekdays, it gets them out of repair for Sundays / "Truly Yours / Mark Twain / Oct. 18, 1898."
The portrait of Twain, dated 7.4.98, is by Henry Rauchinger and was used as frontispiece for a German edition of TOM SAWYER ABROAD. According to Carl Dolmetsch in OUR FAMOUS GUEST, Rauchinger's portrait was part of a publicity stunt to promote Jan Szczepanik's looming device invention called the "Raster." The chalk portrait was copied by the design machine onto a piece of cloth in cream and black silk threads. Twain liked the portrait so much that he had it reproduced on postcards by Dagobert Wlashim, the present card being a particularly fine signed example.
Twain lived in Austria from September 1897 to May 1899, longer than he lived in any other country outside of the United States. He traveled there so that his daughter Clara could study piano with Theodor Leschetizky and they lived there at the Hotel Metropole on the top floor overlooking the Danube Canal near Schwedenbrücke.
