Famed Italian tenor (1873–1921) whose unprecedented popularity, which extended well beyond the rarefied realm of opera, made him the first superstar of the recording era. Amusing original self-portrait pencil sketch on a faintly lined 8.5 x 11 sheet affixed to a larger piece of mat board, signed at lower right “Enrico Caruso, N.Y. 1906.” Mounting as noted and a touch of mild soiling, otherwise fine condition. R&R COA.
