LISZT, FRANZ
<b>337. FRANZ LISZT </b>(1811 - 1886) Hungarian composer and piano virtuoso, inventor of the symphonic poem and composer of dozens of works including symphonies, piano compositions, and choral music. Rare S.P. 5 1/4" x 8 1/2" sepia, a cabinet photo of the great composer shown three-quarters length with one hand tucked into his jacket as he leans against a desk. Signed in black ink at lower-right. Backstamp by J. Ganz, Brussels. A heavy horizontal crack or split at bottom traverses the signature, yet the item remains entirely presentable. Nicely matted in a solid wood frame. Could easily be displayed as-is, or restored at minor expense. Signed photos of Liszt of this size are rarely encountered.<b> $1,200-1,500</b>
