^Lot 206 Mohandas Gandhi

Vintage matte-finish 7 x 9.75 W. H. Grove and Son photo of Clare Sheridan’s bust sculpture of Gandhi, signed in fountain pen, “MK Gandhi,” and also signed and inscribed in fountain pen, “To Mrs. Cheeseman, in remembrance of —Oct—1931, Clare Sheridan.” In fine condition, with some scattered light silvering to background and darker areas of image. Sheridan was a noted sculptress, and cousin of Winston Churchill. Gandhi signed portraits seldom appear at auction, with the additional signature of the artist making this larger than usually seen photo a superior offering.
