Description

The 'Waltz King' presents his portrait, adding a desirable line of operatic melody

Eminent Viennese composer (1825–1899) known as the 'Waltz King,' who is remembered for such classics as 'The Beautiful Blue Danube' and the 'Emperor Waltz,' and for the operetta staple, 'Die Fledermaus.' Scarce 4.25 x 6.5 cabinet photo of Strauss by H. Eckert of Prague, boldly signed and inscribed at the top in ink by Johann Strauss II—offering his greetings and good wishes to "Kathi Rosen" in German—adding a couple bars of music and lyrics from the opera Ritter Pázmán at the lower left. In fine condition. A superlative signed portrait of the 'Waltz King.'
