Original photograph of Carl Sandburg playing the guitar, circa 1955

N.p. N.p., Circa 1955. Vintage black and white photograph of Swedish-American poet, biographer, and musician Carl Sandburg playing the guitar.

Sandburg frequently accompanied himself on solo guitar at readings of his 1927 folksong anthology "The American Songbag," leading historians to speculate that the poet was the first American urban folk singer.

8 x 10 inches. Very Good plus overall, with pinholes to the corners and light rust near the holes, likely from staples.
