Signed Postcard Portrait with Original Photograph

Signed postcard portrait from the hugely influential Bohemian violinist and pedagogue, together with an original photograph of Sevcik with a group of acquaintances. Photograph dated on the verso: October 1, 1931. Light toning and tape remnants to the corners; overall fine. Postcard 3.5 x 5.5 inches (8.6 x 13.9 cm), photograph 4.25 x 3.25 inches (11 x 8.5 cm).

An important soloist and an ensemble player, Sevcik is chiefly remembered as the teacher of some of the greatest 20th century violinists including Jan Kubelík, Jaroslav Kocián, Efrem Zimbalist, Juan Manén, Marie Hall, Victor Kolar and Erika Morini. His violin studies and violin methods were published in several books and are still important and widely used as fundamental teaching tools.
