We have paired a holographed imprinted visiting card of the legendary and prolific Bohemian composer with an original 1893 concert program of Dvorak conducting his own “4th Symphony, op 13” “Slavonic Dances, op. 72” and the overture, “Ma Vlast” op. 62. for “Bohemian Day,” 12 August, 1893 at the Chicago World’s Fair and a superb antique Gesellschaft Berlin photograveure. The concert program is extraordinary, Dvorak had spent much of the Summer of 1893 working on his 9th Symphony, “From the New World” traveling the American countryside collecting folk tunes to be used as themes within the Symphony. He stopped at the Chicago World’s Fair on his return home to New York, where he was Director of the National Conservatory there. The 9th Symphony was given it’s World Premier on December 15th, 1893, with Anton Seidl conducting the New York Philharmonic. Dvorak writes beneath his imprinted name: Has the honor of expressing his heartfelt thanks for the gracious congratulations on the occasion of his birthday, Prague, 19 September, 1901. We have framed the ensemble with anti-uv museum glass, a custom non acidic woodland green mat with drawn gold lines and a black wood frame with hand etched gold filigree motif. Overall size, 18” x 24.”
