Vintage Autograph of Lawrence Tibbett, Great Metropolitan Opera Baritone.
Lot 642. Vintage Autograph of Lawrence Tibbett, Great Metropolitan Opera Baritone. Generally regarded among the best of the classical baritones, Tibbett was a leading performer at the Met from the mid-1920s through the 1930s. An excellent actor, he was successful in films too. He performed also for radio, television and Broadway audiences. Perhaps his most lasting contribution is his co-founding, with violinist Jascha Heifetz, of the American Guild of Musical Artists, which looks out for the interests of classical musicians. He died in 1960. Tibbett’s autograph is a personalized 10, dated 1944, on a 7” x 8” photo with some surface loss that only minimally affects the singer’s image. The photo is from the personal collection of Jimmy Bigelow, “The Banjo King.” It comes with an LoA from Collectible Classics. Authenticated by Kevin Keating.
Minimum Bid $25.
