Description

Mischa Elman

Russian violinist (1891–1967), who began his virtuosic career as a child and played Carnegie Hall at age 17. His recording career spanned six decades, and in 1943 his record sales exceeded two million. Superb pearl-finish 8 x 10 photo of Elman bowing his violin, prominently signed in fountain pen. In fine condition, with mild rippling from mounting remnants to reverse. 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.
