Mark Twain 1909 - Photographic Poster
Mark Twain was born just after the appearance of Halley's Comet.
 
The Mark Twain photo portrait was one of a series of photographs taken by A.F. Bradley in 1909.
 
In 1909, Twain said:
 
“I came in with Halley's Comet in 1835. It is coming again next year, and I expect to go out with it. It will be the greatest disappointment of my life if I don't go out with Halley's Comet. The Almighty has said, no doubt: 'Now here are these two unaccountable freaks; they came in together, they must go out together'”.
 
“When we remember we are all mad, the mysteries disappear and life stands explained.”
