Title: Autograph Note Signed by the English Soprano Helen Lemmens-Sherrington, Responding to a Request for Her Autograph.
Description: July, 1868. 1868. - Over 15 words penned on her 6-1/8 inch high by 3-7/8 inch wide "Burnham House, Finchley Road" stationery with the address and the motto "Ex Una Omnia" surrounding the image of a bird embossed in red at the top. The soprano expresses her "pleasure in complying" with the recipient's request for an autograph. Signed "H. Lemmens-Sherrington". Once folded, the note has been mounted with glue from the verso onto heavier stock which has been clipped from an album. Very good.

The English concert and operatic soprano Helen Lemmens-Sherrington (1834-1906) was born in Northern England, though she spent much of her early life in Belgium studying at the Brussels Conservatory. Her London debut came in 1856 after having performed throughout Europe. Though she mostly sang roles in concert performances through the earlier part of her career, she started appearing in operatic soprano roles in the first half of the 1860's, performing at Covent Garden among other leading theaters. She later taught at the Brussels Conservatory as well as London's Royal Academy of Music and the Royal Manchester College of Music. Very good .
