RUBINSTEIN, ANTON
<b>1302. ANTON RUBINSTEIN</b> (1829 - 1894) Russian pianist and composer whose flawless technique and fire rivaled that of Liszt. Partly-printed D.S. "<i>Ant. Rubinstein</i>" 1p. oblong 8vo., Frankfurt, March 3, 1885, a telegram written out in a secretarial hand and boldly signed by Rubinstein at bottom. Document is, unfortunately, in rough shape, with a vertical split repaired on verso, affecting signature, and general wear and soiling. Sold with a cabinet photograph showing Rubinstein in later years, backstamp by J. Ganz. This too, is in just fair condition, with chipping to top margin, significant overall age toning and a chip to the right of Rubinstein's portrait. Two items, overall just fair, estimated accordingly.<b> $100-150</b>
