Cavalieri, Lina. (1874–1944) & Muratore, Lucien. (1876–1954). Original Photograph at Pathephone Studio.
Remarkable original ca. 1916 photograph of the two great singers, husband and wife, recording with an orchestra at the Pathephone studio, offering an incredible glimpse into the cumbersome early years of recording technology. The photograph shows the singers standing in front of the cones of a Pathé cylinder phonograph, an orchestra of at least 15 crowded closely around them. The January, 1916 "Talking Machine World" magazine announced that the couple were "to record for Pathé" that year. Minor wear to edges and light scratches and creases to surface, else fine. With various stamps and labels on the verso, this is a later printing of this image. 5 x 7 inches (13 x 18 cm).
