1936 Boston Symphony Orchestra: Charcoal Drawings of Its Members 27 Signatures

Description: Here's a really interesting and collectible book on members of the Boston Symphony Orchestra from 1936. Each member of the Orchestra has a bio and a charcoal drawing. The previous owner appears to have collected signatures of many of the members and this book has an amazing 27 signatures overall. Most are under the charcoal drawing, some are under the bios and 5 are on the last page of the book as shown. This would make a wonderful addition to any collection. A rare find with all of the signatures. I listed all of the bios and drawings contained in the book with a note as to which ones are signed. I took my best shot at identifying the 5 signatures on the last page of the book.

I included many pictures but not all. Condition:Book is in Good+ to Very good condition. There's minimal wear to the outside of the book. Inside pages a bit toned on the edges and have some occasional soiling/smudges here and there. Possibly from the illustrations I think. All intact. Previous owner name and date, as well as some red remnants of a paper that might have been attached at one time. Minor cracking and small page edge rip. (See 2nd to last picture). Other than all of the member signatures there's no writing or marking. Pictures of the book in the listing are of the actual book you will receive.
