Italian-born opera singer (1843–1919) widely regarded as the greatest soprano of her age; no less an authority than Verdi singled out her voice as the finest he ever heard. Gorgeous 4.25 x 6.5 cabinet photo, a waist-length three-quarter-length portrait, signed vertically in ink, “Adelina Patti Nicolini, 1890.” A touch of toning and a few tiny spots of skinning to background of mount, otherwise fine, visually appealing condition.
