This photo/illustration shows Jenny Lind (1820-1887), who was once called "one of the finest pearls in the world's chaplet of song." She was born in Stockholm and made her appearance in opera early. She became extremely successful, not only in her native land, but also in London. In 1849, she left the stage and the sang only in concerts. In 1850, she toured the United States. She was noted for her technical control of a soprano voice of great compass, power, sweetness, and perfect purity.
