2. Original portrait engraving from Adolphe Samuel by Jules de Bruycker. Size 146 x 111 mm, signed in the plate, name of the sitter engraved in writing in the plate. Samuel is shown in profile. Adolphe Samuel (Liège 1824 - Gent 1898) Belgian composer , became director of the conservatory at Ghent. He was a pupil of Fétis and studied with Mendelssohn in Leipzig. He was a fierce adherent of cosmopolitism in music and as such an opponent of the leading Flemish composer of that period, Peter Benoit. Samuel's nomination in Ghent met with severe opposition in Flanders. (Corbet, Muziek Encyclopedie). Nice portrait engraving, originally loosely inserted in the '' Annuaire de l'Académie royale de Belgique, année 1923'', was intended as an illustration to the biographical article on Samuel which appeared in the yearbook of 1922 but apparently the engraving was not ready in 1922.
