EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Jenny Lind, known as PT Barnum's Swedish Nightingale. Taken around 1850, during her prime years as one of the most celebrated soprano opera singers of the 19th century, this image showcases Lind's undeniable talent and beauty. Dressed in a stunning Victorian costume that reflects the fashion of the era, Lind is seated gracefully on an elegant chair. Her poised posture and serene expression exude confidence and grace. It is evident that she was not only a remarkable singer but also a woman with great poise and charisma. Lind's journey to fame began when she was invited to perform in the United States by none other than PT Barnum himself. Between 1850 and 1852, she mesmerized audiences across America with her angelic voice, giving an astonishing total of 93 concerts. This tour proved immensely successful for both Lind and Barnum financially, earning them substantial sums. However, what truly sets Lind apart is her philanthropic spirit. Despite amassing considerable wealth from her performances, she selflessly donated most of it to various charitable causes close to her heart. This print serves as a testament to Jenny Lind's extraordinary talent as well as her generous nature. It immortalizes a moment in history when music lovers were captivated by this Swedish songbird who left an indelible mark on both the world of opera and humanitarianism.
