Description

Anais Nin, folding woodblock print social note card, probably circa 1950s. Unopened size, 4 1/4″ x 2 3/4″. Opened size, 8 1/2″ x 2 3/4″. Softly erotic woodblock print of the female form on the cover (closed format). Flirtatious note from Ms.Nin to a gentleman who had previously wanted to write a story about her, telling him that, now, the time may be right for that – and including her phone number. Date of this piece not known, but might be deduced from her phone number, by a Nin authority. Such an expert may also know who the gentleman in question is. And, for that matter, it may not even be a gentleman. Near fine condition, just a bit toned from the years, not much, and no other flaws. See scans. A neat and very “that’s-so-HER” little piece of manuscript ephemera from the world of, and history of, literature – from a time when there were such things. Today, she would have just texted the guy. You can’t collect that. L52
