Ferrier, Kathleen. (1912–1953) [Boughton, Rutland. (1878-1960)]. Signed Photograph.
Rare signed photograph of the great contralto who died tragically young, inscribed "With my best wishes, / Kathleen Ferrier" to the lower margin. In fine condition, mounted to a pink autograph album sheet signed on verso by English composer Rutland Boughton, well known in the early 20th century as a composer of opera and choral music and remembered for his attempt to create an "English Bayreuth" at Glastonbury, establishing the first series of Glastonbury Festivals. Photograph measures 3.5 x 5.5 inches (8.9 x 14 cm.).
Bruno Walter wrote of Ferrier “No summit of solemnity was inaccessible to her, and it was particularly music of spiritual meaning that seemed her most personal domain.”
