Enrico Caruso was the first great star of recorded music, sort of the Elvis Presley of his day. Of course, his music was very different, he being an operatic tenor. In 1907, he recorded the first million seller, and he continued to create extraordinarily popular recordings until his death at only 48 in 1921. Item 17 is a self-portrait drawn by Caruso and signed in London in 1904. The profile of Caruso shows that his artistic talents went beyond just singing. $2,850.
