Featured Old Autographed Photo, Who is it?

Found this old autographed photo today, but have not been able to figure out who it is. Did a Google image search, but so far no luck.

 

Maybe this fellow?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Kochanski

 

Bakersgma, you nailed it, thanks so much.

 

You're welcome, Josh. His handwriting led me down a different spelling path, but close enough that adding "violin" brought him right up.

 

Nice photo and painting!

 

Thanks, scouthouse, I have had pretty good luck in my finds since the start of the new year.

 

BC of the oxidation, it looks like a Man Ray image

 

Oh my goodness, did any others read the Wikipedia article which Bakersgma linked to above?

". . . his pallbearers included Arturo Toscanini, Frank Damrosch, Walter Damrosch, Jascha Heifetz, Vladimir Horowitz, Fritz Kreisler, Serge Koussevitzky, Leopold Stokowski and Efrem Zimbalist."[9]

Can anyone imagine having such a gathering of well-known classical musicians as pallbearers?

 

Is anyone as curious as I am to know who "Mery Zackland(?)" was????

I'm not getting any "search hits" on that name.

 

You got three likes, so all's good!

Where's Yehudi Menuhin?

 

Menuhin was only 18 when Kochanski died in 1934, scout.

 

He just has the best name!

Fun fact: a version of this photo of YH as a boy is still used in the TAT (Thematic Apperception Test) psychology test. You look at a scene and interpret it, of course... I've never seen the card again, but the painting/drawing featured a blond boy, pushing his hair back and staring down intensely at a violin.



It made a big impression on me, bc I cried when I saw it - his longing just tore me up (in a nice way), that's how I interpreted it, anyway.

And in fact, YM said much the same many years later.

There's a set of TAT cards on ebay, but I can't see Card 1 (the one I want) and it's missing 2 cards. I collect that kind of stuff.

 

I agree about the name.

 

Scoutshouse you are soooooo baaaad with your "You got three likes, so all's good!" !!!

There, that's one emoticon for each "like" (as well as three exclamation marks).

 

Bartering for likes

 

Just landed on this thread... wowww... you are all absolutely amazing.
I *LIKE* the bunch of ya!

 

I think it's Mary Lackland.

It looks like a gelatin silver print to me.
