Björling, Jussi. (1911-1960). Childhood Photograph. Rermarkable very early photograph the great Swedish tenor, regarded by many as the greatest tenor in history. 6 x 4 inches. Ink smudge and a few small tears to front, verso with numerous notations and press stamps, the earliest dated 1929.


His father David was a tenor and singing teacher and trained the voices of his children from an early age. Already in 1915, his three oldest children, the boys Olle, Jussi and Gösta, made their first public performance in a church. They toured extensively with their father in Sweden and 1919-1921 also in the US, where six recordings were made in 1920. The present photograph depicts the three siblings with Jussi on the left and an unidentified pianist, possibly their mother.
