Boldly signed early 8 x 10 inch glossy photograph of the popular Choral conductor, who as leader of the Robert Shaw Chorale, commissioned important works from Bartok, Milhaud, Britten, Barber, Copland and others. Ca, 1945, inscribed "with deep thanks for your fine courtesy and magnificent audience." Slight smudging to the inscription, age spotting mostly around the edges. Uncommon so early.
