Stunning original Luxardo photograph, signed with her name alone in thick blue ink "Maria Meneghini Callas" and dated 1956. This portrait was made for her US debut album (Tosca, Norma and Lucia), but it is an ersatz costume as she hadn't yet sung the role in the theater. Mounting traces on verso, overall in very fine condition. 3.5 x 5 inches (8.7 x 12.5 cm).
