Lot 795: Willem Mengelberg

Dutch conductor (1871-1951) highly regarded for his interpretations of Bach and the late Romantic repertoire. The extent of his cooperation with the Nazi regime during World War II remains a topic of much controversy and discussion. Matte-finish 2.5 x 4 photo, affixed to a 3.5 x 4.75 mount, which is in turn affixed to a 6.25 x 8 gray mount, signed on the gray mount in black ink, "W. Mengelberg, Maart 1910." Some scattered light foxing to mounts and image, and surface of larger mount peeling at lower right corner, otherwise fine condition.
