EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait captures the elegance and grace of Mme. Namara-Toye, also known as Marguerite Evelyn Cecilia Banks, an accomplished opera singer of the early 1900s. The monochrome image, taken by renowned photographer Arnold Genthe in 1912, showcases Mme. Namara-Toye in a half-length pose, standing confidently before a plain backdrop. Her striking features are accentuated by her intricately styled hairdo, adorned with a delicate bow and a pair of elegant bracelets. Mme. Namara-Toye's elegant attire, consisting of a high-necked, long-sleeved dress with a fitted bodice and a full skirt, is a testament to the fashion trends of the time. The dress, which falls gracefully to the floor, is accessorized with a decorative belt and a pair of elegant gloves. The singer's hands are delicately placed, one holding a delicate bowl, adding an air of refinement to the image. Arnold Genthe, a pioneering figure in American photography, captured this portrait using glass negatives, resulting in a stunning black and white image that continues to captivate audiences today. The portrait is a significant addition to the performing arts heritage, showcasing the beauty and elegance of a bygone era in American entertainment. Mme. Namara-Toye's successful career as an opera singer took her to the heights of musical fame in the United States, making this portrait a valuable document of her legacy in the world of performing arts.
