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. Exceptional matte-finish 6 x 8.5 photo of a jaunty, mustachioed Caruso with a cigarette in his hand, boldly signed and inscribed in ink across the image “To Mr. Alexander Hartfield with best compliments, Enrico Caruso, New York, 1908.” Matted and framed to an overall size of 11.75 x 14. A few faint, subtle discolorations to emulsion (possibly original to printing), otherwise fine condition. A superlative example for the most discriminating collector! RRAuction COA.
