Inscription and Signature.
This American contralto opera singer, with a range of three octaves, was a popular regular at the New York Metropolitan Opera.

A handsome example of this uncommon signature; Braslau died at age 43. This signature was acquired by noted collector Preston Sawyer (1899-1968, California journalist and historical writer) in San Francisco in 1930. Item #25623
