Signed Photograph
A fine signed postcard photograph of the legendary coloratura soprano, shown in a beautiful silhouette bust portrait. Boldly signed and dated in black ink: "Luisa Tetrazzini / 1920." In very fine condition.Called “The Florentine Nightingale,” she was extremely popular in the United States and was a star of the San Francisco Opera. The famous dish "Chicken Tetrazzini" was named for her, though sources differ as to whether it was created in San Francisco or by Chef George A. Escoffier of The Savoy in London. (4291)
