French songstress. She started her career by singing in the streets, graduating to cabaret, and becoming known as Piaf, from the Parisian slang for “sparrow.” She appeared in plays and films, but it was for her songs, with their undercurrent of sadness and nostalgia, that she became legendary. Vintage matte-finish 7 x 9.5 photo, signed and inscribed in fountain pen in French. In fine condition, with light creasing to both left corners and a touch of light silvering. R&R COA.
