Hungarian violinist and composer (1831–1907) ranked second only to Paganini among 19th-century virtuosi. He was a close associate of Johannes Brahms, who wrote a number of works (including the Violin Concerto) specifically with Joachim’s talents in mind. Two items: a 4 x 6.5 cabinet bust portrait by Atelier Victoria of Berlin, signed at the bottom in black ink, “Joseph Joachim, Leipzig, 27 November 1901”; and an untranslated ALS in German, one page both sides, 5 x 7, May 11, 1891. In overall fine condition, with trimmed edges to the cabinet photo. Originates from the collection of American violinist and pianist Louis Persinger (1887–1966), who trained at the Leipzig Conservatory and later taught at Juilliard, mentoring the likes of Yehudi Menuhin, Ruggiero Ricci, and Isaac Stern.
