Inscribed Photograph Signed.
This Austrian-born American operatic bass singer appeared with the Berlin State Opera for much of the 1920s, but moved to America in 1933 because of his Jewish heritage and appeared with the Metropolitan Opera for many years, retiring in 1952. IPS, 6" X 10", n.p., n.y. Near fine. Top half is a printed image of an ornately framed sepia-tone image of List in period costume, singing and hoisting a glass; below this is the printed message: "Baron Ochs from 'Rosenkavalier' / Wishes you luck and all good cheer / For Christmas and the coming year! / Profit!" Below this List pens, "To my dear Richard Copley in friendly remembrance / Emanuel List." Copley (1876-1939) was a well-known New York concert manager. His top line is a bit light, his huge signature beneath more so -- but still legible. Item #37118
