Signed postcard photograph of the important Russian violinist, the dedicatee of Tchaikovsky's Violin Concerto in D and the founder of the Brodsky Quartet. He is shown in a profile portrait and has signed boldly at the foot. Signed photographs of Brodsky are very rare. Surface quite silvered (though much less notable in person than on scan!) and with some text ghosting from another card, otherwise in very good condition. 3.5 x 5.5 inches (8.5 x 13.6 cm).
