Verso autographed and inscribed Elliott
and Fry of London carte de visite photograph to the French painter, Jenny
Richomme. c. 1860’s. Note, Gounod's fancy striped shirt, unusual at this time!
Gounod's "Faust" remains one of
the most performed operas in the repertory, with “Romeo and Juliette” also a
repertory staple. His other works, with
the exception of “Ave Maria” and “Funeral March of a Marionette” have suffered
by comparison. His other works include
two wonderful symphonies, chamber music, cantatas, operas, solo piano, songs,
motets and masses.
A fine example of the French composer!
