Superb AMQS on an off-white 6.5 x 3 sheet signed prominently in fountain pen, “Giacomo Puccini, London 23 Oct. 1905,” with Puccini boldly adding four bars of music from his classic three-act opera Madama Butterfly, titling it above, “Butterfly.” Double-matted and framed to an overall size of 12 x 13. In fine condition. Accompanied by a vintage sheet music booklet for Puccini’s La Boheme, published by G. Ricordi & Co., in 1912. A much desired musical quote from the Italian composer, whose masterful Madama Butterfly—now the sixth most performed opera in the world—had its premiere the year prior.
