Autographed photos of musicians

This is my wife's grandfather's collection of autographed photos of musicians. Monroe Voightsberger was a resident of Philadelphia and a passionate lover of classical music; the autographed photos reflect these two facts.

Listed above each image is a note on its inscription and size -- faded autographs are also noted; click on the images to see a full-sized version of the image. Sorry about the poor quality of the photos; they were taken with a Mavica in extremely dim light. All photos are framed with glass, though the Rachmaninoff has a broken frame.

Thanks to all who helped track down the identities when all I had to go on was a scribble and my (lack of) musical knowledge. To help others like me, I've included links to web resources; each is marked (Web). If you have comments or suggestions, please contact me at mcvicker@ohiou.edu. Click here for more on autographs.
