[Clement Scott [Clement William Scott], theatre critic of the Daily Telegraph.] Two copies of studio portrait postcard of Scott, both signed and inscribed by him, with a similarly inscribed postcard of his second wife.

See his entry in the Oxford DNB. The postcards are bromide prints, and 9 x 14 cm. The two identical images of Scott, dressed for the theatre, with curled moustache and flower in his buttonhole, are both inscribed. In the bottom margin of one he has written ‘late of the D. T.’; in the same position on the other, and rather poignantly considering his later history, ‘Remember me / Clement Scott / 1902’. The former card is addressed by Scott on the reverse, with Ingatestone postmark dated 27 February 1904, to ‘Mr S. Le Sage / Maisonette / Ingatestone / Essex’. In her photograph Mrs Scott is also dressed for the theatre, with fur wrap and muff. At top left she has written ‘May-Day / 1906’, and beneath the portrait: ‘Affectionate greetings from / yours Margaret [sic] Clement Scott’. The card dated by Scott to 1902 has a central horizontal crease; the other two cards are in good condition, lightly aged and worn. See image.
