GRAINGER,  Percy.  SIGNED   PHOTOGRAPH  with  HOLOGRAPH   MUSICAL
QUOTATION.  10  October 1941. Handsome 8" x 10" original silver  print
photograph  in  an  old  frame of a serious Grainger  looking  at  the
camera.  Nicely and clearly INSCRIBED and SIGNED by the subject in the
blank    area  to  his  right:   "To/Edna  V.  McLoughlin/in   sincere
admiration/of  her inspired &/outstanding work for/musical  progress/&
in  happy  memory/of  the   concerts  of/October  10,  1941/from/Percy
Grainger."   Below  his  name  Grainger   has  written  four  bars  of
unidentified  music.  There is a word written below the music, but  it
is  very  faint  and  appears  to  be  in  another  hand,  likely  the
photographer's.  But  for  a  few letters that  are  light  but  still
readable,  the  writing is dark and strong. Not examined out of  frame
but appears Fine.                                             $1000.00
