Caruso, Enrico & Scotti, Antonio. Three 6½ x 4 in. caricatures on brown paper, drawn by Enrico Caruso in Chicago in 1906. One is of Italian baritone Antonio Scotti and is signed by Caruso and Scotti. A second caricature is of Mrs. H.O. Crane and is also signed by Caruso and Scotti. A third caricature is, presumably, Harold O. Crane; it is unsigned. Caruso and Scotti often shared the stage. Caruso was a tenor, Scotti a baritone. Caruso made his stage debut in Naples in 1894; his extraordinary voice and acting ability won him worldwide acclaim. He loved to draw while dining and at parties, and often gave his drawings to the people whom he drew.
