TURING (ALAN)
Autograph postcard signed ("Alan Turing"), to the Greenbaum family ("Frau Dr F.M. Greenbaum (und Kinder)"), sent from his Club Mediterranée holiday on Corfu: "I hope you are all enjoying your selves as well as I am here at Corfu. It is tremendously hot and one wears bathing things all day", the card addressed to their hotel in Lugarno and redirected to Manchester, 1 page, stamped and postmarked, 8vo, Corfu, postmarked 23 July 1953
Footnotes
The card reproduces not a beach scene but rather a Fouquet miniature in the Bibliotheque Nationale of David learning of Saul's death, taken from Josephus' Antiquities of the Jews.
