Spectacular Set of Glass Negatives of Enrico Caruso

Post by Garret »

By Herman Mishkin, who did a lot of the opera singer portraits used by Victor in advertising pieces. You will see his last name at the bottom of certain display pieces. These really should go to a museum.

What a jewel! I would marvel at the pics for hours. Photos of opera stars are on a different level altogether..
