First Edition. Original silver-gelatin photographic print, 7" x 6". Mounted on thin board, 13" x 9-3/4", signed "A. Feny" on mount below image (see note). Dated in the subject's hand, "17/8/27 - Paris," and inscribed: "To the Beloved couple Grover [?] & Nettie hoping you will continue having success and making friends," signed in full. Some abrasion to the mount, especially at corners; small flaw to image at upper left corner, still Very Good or better. A lovely jazz-age portrait of Henry Georges Walter playing his trumpet, probably in a Paris nightclub around 1927. Walter (b.1902) was born in Alabama and studied music in the renowned Harlem studio of Isabel Talafierro-Spiller, but seems to have spent most of his performing career in Europe. A brief notice in the Baltimore Afro-American for Oct. 19, 1929 advises that Walter "will return to America in October. after being eleven years in Europe;" he was at this time performing with Opal Cooper's "International Five," a popular Paris quintet which also included Samuel Richardson, Harvey White, and Charlie Lewis. Little else is known of Walter; the 1930 U.S. Census finds him living as a lodger on 151st Street in Harlem, with the occupation of "musician," but we find no further record of him after this. The photograph is titled "A Fény" with an address in Hungarian at left: "Váczi U [Vaci Utca] 11/B." The title, which translates to "The Light," is possibly a reference to the influential Hungarian photographic journal of the same name, published in Budapest from 1906-1912. We have been unable to satisfactorily identify the photographer. Signed.

Condition: Fine. ~ Gelatin silver print pasted to a cardboard mount, size approx. 22cm x 16cm, inscribed by the sitter «Alla Loggia Camilo Grandjacquet / Fiume d'Italia 1920.» and with a top right caption 'Nec recisa recedit' (Not Even Broken Retreats), an ancient gladiator's motto revamped by D'Annunzio and later adopted by the «Guardia di Finanza» / Following Italy's declaration of war on Austria on May 24, 1915 the Italian War Ministry granted D'Annunzio (then 52) the privilege to revive his commission as a lieutenant in the Novara Lancers. He was promoted lieutenant-colonel in 1919 while in Rome, where he was later noticed wearing his uniform while giving some speeches before being expelled to Venice by the government. Once there he requested his own dismissal from the Army only to head the grenadiers' force that, in Sep 12, left the camp at Ronchi to invade Fiume. All this wandering gives little help as to identify the place where this photography was taken. D'Annunzio is reported to have inscribed with the same motto a number of other photographic portraits of himself while commanding the Italian troops in Fiume, where he stayed until Jan 18, 1921. / The dedicatee might have had an affiliation with some relative of Claudio Grandjacquet, one of the seven officers that took an oath to free Fiume at the camp of Ronchi («I giurati di Ronchi») and that was sent to Venice in Aug, 1919 with an appeal to D'Annunzio to lead their mission, becoming a member of the expedition to Fiume ~ In Fine condition // We accept PayPal & EU bank transfer in EUROS //.
