^Lot 704 Erich Wolfgang Korngold

Czechoslovakian-born composer (1897–1957) who, after producing much well-received “serious” music (including the still-important opera ‘Die Tote Stadt’), enjoyed great success as one of the most respected and in-demand film composers of the 1930s and 1940s. Nominated for a total of four Academy Awards, Korngold won two, for Anthony Adverse (1936) and The Adventures of Robin Hood (1938). Vintage glossy 8 x 10 photo, signed and inscribed in fountain pen “To Harry Flynn, Jr., with thanks and best wishes! Erich Wolfgang Korngold, Hollywood, 1943,” with a musical staff drawn underneath his signature. In very good condition, with scattered creases and surface marks, rusty paperclip marks to top and bottom edge, and light silvering to darker areas, visible only at an angle.
