MARIE HALL. Postcard Photograph signed: "Marie Hall/1904".
B/w with sepia hue, 3½x5. Name imprinted at lower margin of image,
photographer's imprint at lower left corner. English violinist Marie Hall
(1884-1956) was discovered as a teenager while performing on the streets to help
earn a living for her family. She studied in London and Prague before making her
stage debut in Prague in 1902. After making her London debut in 1903, Hall,
who was considered the foremost woman violinist of her time, toured
worldwide, attracting a large following in Europe, the U.S. and South Africa.
Hall is perhaps best known for her masterful playing of Lark
Ascending, written by Vaughan Williams (1872-1958), based on a poem by
English poet George Meredith (1828-1904). Williams had first written Lark
Ascending in 1914, and Hall, who had collaborated with him on the work,
which was dedicated to her, first performed it in a violin-piano arrangement in
December 1920 and then debuted it with full orchestration in 1921. Hall also had
at least one other work dedicated to her: Plantation Dance (1931) by
composer Albert Sammons (1886-1957), who was known as "The English Kreisler".
Lightly creased at lower left blank corner. Lightly soiled at blank margins.
Overall, fine condition.
