Description

Choice portrait of the ‘Waltz King’

Eminent Viennese composer (1825–1899), known as the ‘Waltz King,’ best known for such all-time favorites as ‘The Beautiful Blue Danube’ and the ‘Emperor Waltz,’ and for the operetta staple Die Fledermaus. Beautiful original 2.5 x 5 gilt-trimmed carte-de-visite photo by A. Moll of Vienna, signed in a special area in the lower border in black ink, “Johann Strauss,” adding a three-bar AMQS from ‘The Emperor Waltz Op. 437.’ In fine condition, with a small tack hole to bottom border. Strauss is uncommon in signed photos, particularly of this quality. Pre-certified PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
