Paderewski Photograph
By Darrell Clarke

G'day,  Recently in an antique shop I came across a framed print of a
photograph of Paderewski seated at a Feurich grand piano surrounded by
a number of other well dressed gentlemen with an unknown upright in the
background.   The title of the print was something like "Paderewski and
the Welte Mignon piano".

Has anyone seen this photograph before or can give some background to its
purpose or occasion?  I guess it was a publicity shot taken before he
signed up "exclusively" for Duo-Art.

The antique dealer new nothing about it but it didn't prevent him from
putting a high price on it!

Cheers,

Darrell Clarke
