Charming 4.25 x 8.5-inch black and white portrait, boldly signed and inscribed in black fountain pen by the opera star in New York, during his Metropolitan Opera days, in 1914. In good condition for its age, handsomely matted and framed, with some light creasing visible along the photo, which has not been examined outside of the frame, so that we do not know if it is trimmed beyond what can be seen.
