Wagner, Richard. (1813–1883). Autograph Signed Note on his Visiting Card. Rare original printed visiting card of the composer, signed and addressed with a note to Carl Runkwitz (1850 - 1942), the construction supervisor of the Festspeilhaus at Bayreuth. Dated 13 May, 1874, Wagner asks that Runkwitz to show a certain Herr Jackson around the (in progress) Theater. 6 x 9 cm, a few small stains and areas of toning, overall fine.
In her diary entry of this date, Cosima Wagner records: "An American tracks us down, he has been sent here by the New York Herald to write reports on the theater, and he wants to spend a week here." Presumably, the Mr. Jackson of the present note is this American journalist.
