[Callas, Maria. (1923–1977)] Luxardo, Elio. (1908 – 1969)
Portrait as Tosca for US debut album
Gelatin silver print, signed by Maria Callas

Stunning original Luxardo photograph, signed and inscribed in thick blue ink.  This portrait was made for her US debut album (Tosca, Norma and Lucia), but it is an ersatz costume as she hadn't yet sung the role in the theater. Mounting traces on verso, overall in very fine condition. 4 x 5.75 inches; 9.7 x 14.9 cm.
