EDITORS COMMENTS
This colored engraving showcases the renowned Italian-born French soprano, Erminia Borghi-Mamo (1855-1941), in her prime during the late 19th century. Born in Palermo, Sicily, Borghi-Mamo made her professional opera debut in 1875 at the age of 20 in Milan, Italy. By the late 1870s, she had gained international recognition and was performing regularly in Europe and the Americas. In this portrait, Borghi-Mamo is depicted wearing an elegant blouse with a high neckline and long sleeves, accessorized with a pair of spectacles and an upswept chignon. Her expressive face and dramatic posture convey the intensity and passion that she brought to her operatic performances. The engraving, published in The Spanish and American Illustration in 1878, captures the contemporary European fashion of the time while highlighting the unique beauty and talent of this extraordinary singer. Borghi-Mamo's career spanned over five decades, during which she performed in some of the most prestigious opera houses in Europe and the Americas. She was particularly known for her interpretations of the works of Verdi and Puccini, and her voice was described as having a rich, powerful timbre with a remarkable range. Her legacy continues to inspire opera singers and music lovers around the world, making this engraving not only a beautiful work of art but also an important historical document.
