melvind Posted June 9, 2020 Posted June 9, 2020 This bust is made of hollow plaster, at least if feels like plaster. It is 19.5 inches tall and has a maker name and date on the back. I have not been able to find anything about the maker or the item anywhere. It is dated 1921 so I am assuming it came out just after Caruso's death in August 1921. Does anyone know about this maker or have any further information on the bust? By the way, I got this from a certain collector who picks up and delivers things all over the country and is on his way to meet some folks at the Union parking lot even though the show was cancelled. He has taunted me with it for several years and had sweetened a deal recently and included the bust when I bought something else. ?
Analogous Posted June 9, 2020 Posted June 9, 2020 Hi Dan, I can't help you identify the bust or its sculptor but I thought you'd like the mosaic my sister-in-law just made me for my birthday. John 1
Analogous Posted June 9, 2020 Posted June 9, 2020 Thanks Dan. It took about two months and she had the free time, courtesy of the pandemic. Good thing I didn't have to pay for it! John
