Vintage matte-finish 3.5 x 5.5 postcard photo of Puccini in a bust-length pose, signed in the lower border in fountain pen, "Giacomo Puccini," adding three bars of music and lyrics from 'La Tosca' to the upper left corner, and the date, "8.7.05." In very good to fine condition, with a crease passing across his chest, and loss to the upper right corner tip.
Puccini's enduring La Tosca, set in Rome during the Napoleonic wars, combines themes of love, jealousy, and political intrigue. The story follows the passionate singer Floria Tosca, her lover Mario Cavaradossi, and the villainous police chief Baron Scarpia. Known for its intense emotion and lush music, La Tosca features some of Puccini’s most famous arias, including 'Vissi d’arte' and 'E lucevan le stelle.'
