Eminent Russian composer (1844–1908) best known for such brilliantly orchestrated works as Scheherazade and for operatic staples like ‘Sadko,’ ‘The Tale of Tsar Saltan,’ and ‘The Golden Cockerel.’ Original 4 x 5.5 cabinet photo of the composer seated in a wooden chair, inscribed in black ink, in Russian, signed “N. R.-Korsakov,” and dated December 1906. Matted to an overall size of 6 x 8.25. In fine condition, with end of signature and date light but legible due to decreased ink flow. The controversial opera’s premiere was delayed until after Rimsky-Korsakov’s death, as it was critical of the monarchy and Russo-Japanese War.
