Unusual hand-calligraphied postcard photo of a young lady issued to promote Puccini’s second opera, entitled Edgar, 5.5 x 3.5, postmarked Buenos Aires, July 10, 1905. An artist has intricately embellished the photo and added a lengthy quotation from the score to the background, across which Puccini has signed in black ink, “Giacomo Puccini.” In fine condition. Puccini spent six weeks in Argentina in 1905, during which time he premiered his final revised version of Edgar, two days before this card was postmarked in Buenos Aires to promote the show.
