Description

Composer of The Barber of Seville

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. Partly-printed DS, in Italian, one page, 10.5 x 4, March 23, 1853. A financial document involving the transfer of 700 “Neapolitan ducats.” Vertical folds, light edge wear with a few chips, wax seal remnants with some associated small tears, and faint show-through from ink notations on reverse, not at all detracting from the signature, otherwise fine condition. An exceptionally bold signature. RRAuction COA.
