854 - Letter from Dr. Arthur Schnitzler. Typewritten, hand-signed letter, (Vienna) June 25, 1923, 1 page, 8° format, with letterhead, collection stamp in blue on the reverse. In this letter, the Austrian physician and writer Dr. Arthur Schnitzler (1862–1931) addresses the writer, filmmaker, and globetrotter Hanns Heinz Ewers (1871–1943), who had spent a long time in the United States and had excellent connections in the American cultural scene. Here, he acts as an intermediary to help Schnitzler break into the U.S. market. Schnitzler therefore refers to the American publisher Benjamin W. Huebsch (1876–1964), who wishes to publish one of Schnitzler’s one-act plays in an anthology; Schnitzler not only expresses his skepticism about this but also reserves all further rights as well as the right to negotiate royalties. 21.6 cm x 16.2 cm.
