EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white portrait captures the enchanting presence of Povla Frijsh, a Danish-American soprano, as she gracefully extends her arms outstretched during a performance in 1917. Taken by renowned photographer Arnold Genthe on April 17 of that year, this image is a testament to Frijsh's captivating stage presence and unwavering dedication to her craft. Born in Denmark, Frijsh came to the United States to further her education and pursue a career in music. Her exceptional vocal abilities quickly gained her recognition, and she became a sought-after performer on the American concert stage. This portrait, taken during a performance, showcases her poised and confident demeanor, as well as her elegant posture and captivating expression. Arnold Genthe, a pioneering figure in American photography, captured this image using glass negatives, ensuring a high level of detail and clarity. The resulting photograph is a stunning example of the artistic and technical prowess of the time, and a valuable addition to the rich cultural heritage of the United States. Frijsh's career as a singer and educator spanned several decades, and her influence on the American musical landscape was significant. This portrait, taken during her prime, serves as a reminder of her enduring legacy and the powerful impact of the arts on our collective history.
