EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the radiant presence of English opera singer and actress, Ruth Vincent (1877-1955), with her young son, John Budge Fraser, circa 1910. Known for her exceptional vocal abilities and magnetic stage presence, Vincent began her career at the tender age of 17 with the renowned D'Oyly Carte opera company. Her talent extended beyond opera, as she graced the stages of musical comedies, operas, and concert halls, even making her mark on Broadway. Vincent's personal life was as captivating as her professional one. She was married to Lieutenant Colonel John Fraser of the Royal Horse Guards, creating a union that blended the worlds of entertainment and military nobility. The image of mother and son, bathed in soft, natural light, evokes a sense of warmth and love. The photograph was captured by the esteemed British photographer, Rita Martin (1875-1958), who was celebrated for her evocative portraits, particularly of suffragists. Martin's ability to capture the essence of her subjects is evident in this photograph, as Vincent's regal bearing and the tender connection between mother and son shine through. This photograph is a testament to the extraordinary life of a remarkable woman who graced the stages of theatres during the 1900s season and the 1910s, leaving an indelible mark on the world of entertainment as a prima donna of operatic singing and acting.
