Polish-American classical pianist (1887–1982) considered by many the greatest Chopin interpreter of his time. Fabulous early pearl-finish 5 x 7 photo, signed and inscribed in black ink “To the very human and charming Mr. Persinger with my sincere friendship—Arthur Rubinstein, San Francisco, 30.12.1923.” Trivial edge chips and fair contrast to portions of the signature and inscription against the dark background, otherwise fine condition. 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; he was appointed leader and assistant conductor of the San Francisco Symphony Orchestra in 1915, before moving on to Juilliard in 1930.
