French songstress. She started her career by singing in the streets, graduating to cabaret, and becoming known as Piaf, from the Parisian slang for 'sparrow.' She appeared in plays and films, but it was for her songs, with their undercurrent of sadness and nostalgia, that she became legendary. Vintage 7.5 x 10 photo, signed and inscribed in ballpoint in French in the lower border. In very good condition, with border toning, several dings and impressions to image and a few light creases. RRAuction COA.
