Walter, Bruno. (1876–1962). Signed photograph. Candid half-length shot of the German-Austrian conductor performing. Inscription on lower margin, "To Mr. John Fischbach / cordially / March 1961 Bruno Walter." 6.75 x 5 inches (17.4 x 12.6 cm). Remnants of earlier mounting to verso, else fine.
The photograph is from Walter's final year. While his face is in focus, his hands are blurred because they are in motion, which creates an interesting effect.
