GALSWORTHY (John, 1867-1933, Author of ‘The Forsyte Saga’)

Fine vintage Magazine photo photograph mounted on a signed and inscribed card with the work ‘Cordially’, showing him head and shoulders in half profile, 6½” x 3½”, no place, January

Signed at the height of his fame. After the First World War he returned to the Forsytes; he wrote a second novel about the family, In Chancery, published in October 1920. Within a year he completed another Forsyte short story (or "interlude"), called "Awakening", and a third novel, To Let, published in September 1921. A month later the International PEN Club (standing for "Poets, Essayists, Novelists") was founded in London, with Galsworthy as its president, a position he held for the rest of his life. In May 1922 the three Forsyte novels were issued in a single volume as The Forsyte Saga, and sold prodigiously.
