Signed Photograph
Signed halftone photograph of the French conductor known for having directed the first performance of The Rite of Spring and for his tenures with the symphony orchestras of Boston, San Francisco, and Amsterdam. He is shown at the podium, conducting a quiet passage with a finger held to his lips, and has signed and inscribed at the upper left to the Swiss graphic artist Jean Walther (who, like Monteux, worked in San Francisco). Two corner tears and some show-through from the mounting glue, but a crisp signature and overall in very good condition. 6 x 8 inches (15 x 20 cm), mounted on heavy card to 8 x 10 inches (20.4 x 25.5 cm).
