Beaumont Read.
[Illegible artist's signature.]
Hopewood & Crew, 42 New Bond St. W. [n.d., c.1870.]
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.
