Autograph Postcard Signed by Sholem Aleichem – Lviv, 1906

A postcard handwritten and signed by Solomon Rabinovich – Sholem Aleichem. Sent to M. Hammer from Vienna. Lviv, April 8, 1906. Yiddish.
In the postcard, Sholem Aleichem mentions his plans for the upcoming Passover holiday – a trip to Vienna, Russia and London, all in one week ("I will thus have to be divided into three. Do I have any choice?"). He also mentions he is expecting a "cliché" (a [print] stereotype?) and an attempt to organize an event for him with the help of a third party, "Mr. Devonitski".
The postcard is stamped on top with Sholem Aleichem's stamp, with his Lviv address.
Approx. 14X9 cm. Good condition. Stains. Creases and minor blemishes.
