Important Italian composer (1792-1868) who became one of the seminal figures in the history of opera with such repertoire staples as The Barber of Seville and William Tell. Rare vintage 2 x 3.5 portrait photo of Gioachino Rossini, affixed to a 4.25 x 6.25 mount engraved in French (translated), “February 10, 1868, 500th Performance of William Tell, to Mr. Hustache, Grateful Remembrance,” signed below in ink, “G. Rossini.” Another hand has added the dedication. In very good to fine condition, with edge toning passing though the signature. Rossini attended the 500th performance of his classic in 1868 at the Paris Opera. A magnificent tribute to William Tell, the grandest and final opera of Rossini's illustrious career.
