Important Italian composer (1792–1868) who became one of the seminal figures in the history of opera with such repertoire staples as The Barber of Seville and William Tell. Original 2.25 x 4.25 carte-de-visite portrait of Rossini, by an anonymous studio, signed in the lower border in black ink, “G. Rossini.” Reverse also signed and inscribed in black ink, “Souvenir de Sympathie e de Reconnaissance offert a Mr. G. Brandus, G. Rossini, Paris, 16 Jan. 1867.” In fine condition, with some light scattered toning and soiling. Brandus was one of the most important music publishers in Paris and published Rossini’s Petite Messe in 1869, shortly after the composer’s death.
