Description

The tenor as caricaturist

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. Original drawing of a man conducting, black crayon on a cream 8.5 x 14 sheet, signed at lower left “Enrico Caruso, 1908.” A caption in another hand on the reverse describes the subject as conductor Rudolfo Ferrari. In very good condition overall, with intersecting folds, creases and wrinkles, a few small tears and chips (tape reinforcements), and scattered soiling and staining (mainly at edges). RRAuction COA.
