Original photograph and autograph signature of the great Russian basso, mounted together in an elaborate mat in shades of brown. Chaliapin is shown perusing a large score, and has signed on a small card: "Souvenir of Chaliapin, 1932." In fine condition, though likely impossible to extricate from the current presentation. Photograph 7 x 7 inches (17.5 x 17.7 cm); signature 3.75 x 2.25 inches (9.5 x 5.7 cm); total size 14 x 16.25 inches (35.5 x 41.2 cm).
