Item #27020 Signature. Blanche MARCHESI.

Signature.

The daughter of famed singer Mathilde Marchesi was a noted French soprano; though she debuted in opera as Brunnhilde in Prague in 1900, her voice underwhelmed the critics and lent itself more to the concert stage and, later in life, to recordings. Large and bold signature and "1899 / First visit to / America. / March" in bold brown ink, heavy stock 3½" X 2½" card, n.p. Very good. Mild age toning; faint mounting trace at corners. A fine signature, signed during her first and quite successful U.S. tour. Item #27020

Price: $50.00
