Rare AMQS on a beige 7 x 9 album page, signed in black ink, "Arthur Sullivan, Leeds. Oct: 5, 1895," who pens three bars of music from the choral epilogue of the cantata 'The Golden Legend,' adding the title below: "God sent his messenger, the rain." The reverse bears an AQS signed by opera singer Adelina Patti, in full: "A beautiful voice is the gift of God." Patti dates the signature to "Bradford, November 11th, 1889." In very good to fine condition, with light stains from onetime exposure to previously laid in fern leaves. Only the second AMQS from Sullivan that we have encountered.
