Highly scarce vintage 4.25 x 6-inch black and white glossy portrait of the seminal Beat Generation novelist and poet whose works included Junkie (1953) and Naked Lunch (1959), boldly signed to the lower border in black ink. In fine condition, with a few minor surface impressions in the lower border; mild creasing to both right corner tips; and a faint handling bend in the background, virtually invisible when the image is viewed head-on.
