Madame Clara Novello
Engraved by D.J. Pound from a Photograph by Mayall [1859]
Engraving, sheet 310 x 230mm (12¼ x 9"). Crease lower left. Slight marking at top.
Clara Novello (1818-1908), singer and daughter of the music publisher Vincent Novello. Born at 240 Oxford Street, London, Novello made her public debut at the Theatre Royal, Windsor in 1832 after studying in Paris. Following her marriage to Count Giovanni Baptista Gigliucci in 1843 Novello put her career on hold to raise a family and assist her husband in the fight for Italian independence. However, when Count Gigliucci lost his property in the 1848 uprisings, Novello returned to the stage, performing both in the UK and on the continent. Novello retired, while still popular, in 1860, to live with Count Gigliucci in Rome and Fermo. Published in 1859, shortly before Novello's retirement, in the 'Drawing Room Portrait Gallery of Eminent Personages' of engravings made from photographs by John Jabez Edwin Mayall (1813-1901).

Tinted lithograph. Trimmed in oval, 225 x 190mm (8¾ x 7½"). Trimmed from larger sheet, slight spotting.
Beaumont Read (1833-1910), an American singer said to be the greatest male alto singer to appear on the Australian stage. Having been a member of ''Hague's Georgia Slave Troupe'' (when it included white performers), he came to Australia via South Africa in 1874. After a failed attempt to run a photographic business in Melbourne he became a huge star with ''Hiscocks' Federal Minstrals'' in the 1880s. Read retired in 1903 and moved to Adelaide where he taught singing. This portrait is probably from the cover of sheet music.
