signed unbound
1935
by TOSCANINI, Arturo (1867 - 1957)
1935. unbound. 6 x 4 inches, black and white, circa 1935, credited to famed Czech-Austrian photographer Otto Skall (1884 - 1942), depicting the maestro in motion pointing his finger and waving his baton, while conducting. Boldly signed in black fountain pen directly below his image and across his printed name. Note: Skall is credited with taking two photographs of Toscanini conducting in The Golden Hall of the Viennese Musikverein on January 1, 1935. The image we offer, shot in a low speed, is still fairly well focused, with no doubt that Toscanini is waving his baton with a high velocity. Rounded corners with a light scratch across the image. Very good(-) condition. Italian conductor best remembered for his work as director of the New York Philharmonic and NBC orchestras. (Inventory #: 273340)
