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. Color 4.5 x 7 magazine photo (affixed to an 8 x 10.75 mount) of Piaf signing an agonizing song, signed on the mount in blue ballpoint. In fine condition, with some light bends and creases to image and a few bends to mount. R&R COA.
