Caricatures by Caruso
Publication: 1951
Caruso loved to draw for his own pleasure. His caricatures of friends and other singers were first published in 1906, though this later collection dates to 1951. He was said to “throw off [the sketches] as easily as his mellifluous notes.” He often drew during interviews, as his son recalled.
