Description
A formally dressed man stands beside an ornate Edison phonograph with its lid open. The card includes a printed biographical paragraph beneath the image, identifying the performer as Otto Goritz. The composition is a studio-style portrait with a plain light background and a decorative border. Undated.
Front Text (verbatim):
OTTO GORITZ, the baritone, is called “The Infallible of
the Metropolitan. His versatility is indeed remarkable.
When he was singing at Hamburg before joining the Metro-
politan forces he was the master of eighty rôles. Not long ago
the music critic of the New York Sun said: “Otto Goritz long
ago set standards of excellence as unbreakable as the laws of
the Medes and Persians.” Above, Goritz is pictured actually
demonstrating that his living voice cannot be distinguished
from Mr. Edison’s Re-Creation of it.
