^Lot 779 Giacomo Puccini

Italian composer (1858–1924) who earned a central place in the operatic pantheon with such repertoire staples as ‘La Boheme,’ ‘Madama Butterfly,’ and ‘Tosca.’ Dignified vintage matte-finish 3.25 x 5.25 photo, signed in fountain pen, “Giacomo Puccini 1913.” Photo is affixed to a slightly larger card, which is in turn affixed to a 5.25 x 7 black sheet. Light silvering to lower portion of image, and a couple of edge dings, otherwise fine condition.
