Rare signed postcard photograph of the great contralto who died tragically young. She is shown ca. 1951, only about 2 years before her death, and has signed below the image: "With best wishes, Kathleen Ferrier." Photographed by Vivienne and stamped on the verso. 9 x 14 cm. In very fine condition.

Bruno Walter wrote of Ferrier “No summit of solemnity was inaccessible to her, and it was particularly music of spiritual meaning that seemed her most personal domain.”
