SAMUEL LOVER
The artist signs "Yours very truly"
Autograph sentiment signed: "Yours very truly/in hart/Samuel
Lover", in black ink, 2¾x2 affixed to a 6x2½ sheet. Samuel Lover
(1797-1868) was an Irish novelist, songwriter and painter. Being
privately educated in his native Ireland, Lover desired to work in the arts, and
fled his father's stockbroking business to take residence in London,
England. He took up many practices, but excelled in painting, mostly
painting portraits and miniatures. In addition to painting, he took up writing
and compoing, most notably writing "Rosy O'More" (1826), which was also
developed into a novel and play. His other works include a successful novel
titled Handy Andy (1842). As he grew older, his eyesight began
to fail and he abandoned painting to focus on writing and entertaining,
reading his writings with much popularity in Great Britian and the United
States. Light surface creases. Lightly soiled. Corners slightly worn and
creased. Lightly toned. Small tear on bottom edge of sheet. Irregularly cut.
Otherwise, fine condition.
