^Lot 742 Engelbert Humperdinck

German Romantic composer (1854–1921) best known for the opera Hänsel und Gretel. He is not related to the 1960s British pop star of the same name (born Arnold Dorsey), who ‘borrowed’ the composer’s moniker from a music dictionary. Vintage 3.5 x 5.5 postcard photo, signed vertically in black ink, “E. Humperdinck.” Reverse bears a 1912 postmark. A bit of scattered light silvering, small stain to right edge, and a trivial brush to signature, otherwise fine condition.
