EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the talented American mezzo-soprano and contralto opera singer, Cecil Arden, in May 1918. Standing proudly in front of Federal Hall on Wall Street, New York City, Arden is seen performing at a World War I Liberty Bond rally. Dressed elegantly in a military uniform with the British flag as her backdrop, she exudes grace and poise.
In this moment frozen in time, Arden sings "God Save the King" to an audience that includes Rabbi Stephen S. Wise. The image reflects not only her musical talent but also her patriotism and support for the war effort during this tumultuous period in history.
The photograph by Bain News Service beautifully captures the essence of Arden's performance and the atmosphere of the event. It serves as a reminder of the important role that music played in boosting morale and raising funds for the war.
As we gaze upon this historic image, we are transported back to a time when art and entertainment were used to unite people during times of hardship. Cecil Arden's legacy as a talented opera singer shines brightly through this remarkable photograph from May 1918.
