She sang with Verdi, and Mendelssohn wrote the soprano part in Elijah for her. She is believed to have inspired several Hans Christian Andersen stories, including The Ugly Duckling and The Emperor’s Nightingale. In May 1847, she made her London debut in the role of Alice in Meyerbeer’s opera, Roberto il diavolo (Robert the Devil) at the Theatre Royal, Haymarket, to immense popular acclaim – it is said that Queen Victoria threw her a bouquet rom the Royal Box. In later life she raised substantial funds for good causes, such as Florence Nightingale’s Nursing Fund and The Railway Servants’ Benevolent Fund. Rackham (1935) lists this figure as of a type made chiefly by Sampson Smith at Longton, a factory listed in contemporary directories as a ‘manufacturer of figures in great variety’, which began around 1851 and continued to make figures in quantity into the early part of the twentieth century. But Sampson Smith figures were rarely marked, and typically have a flat, undecorated back and plain oval base, and are made without subsidiary mouldings. Meanwhile there were many other, sometimes smaller, manufacturers of figures working in Staffordshire at this time. The source for this figure is a coloured lithograph of Jenny Lind as Alice in Meyerbeer’s Opera, Roberto il Diavolo, by T. Packer, which shows Lind in the same pose and dress. An engraving in The London Illustrated News of 8th May 1847 also shows her in a similar pose, but recoiling in fear from a male character who points aggressively at her (see Pugh (1970), pp.74 and 455). The existence of several differently moulded Jenny Lind figures based on these illustrations indicates their popularity, and that they were made by a number of different manufacturers. Pugh (1970) estimates that, in all, some 18 different Jenny Lind figures were made. reference term-109672 adlib-term-109672 a788e98b-c8a4-313c-9617-1a812228e864 19th Century, Mid reference term-120127 adlib-term-120127 ee2ddbd4-503c-30f5-8cf9-3c2d121bd315 Victoria I reference term-107658 adlib-term-107658 824d3ecf-92c1-33aa-8d45-2f0239317270 literal England England country Staffordshire reference term-107611 adlib-term-107611 790e5a19-a186-34d5-a16e-2d8dff9f6247 white earthenware reference term-107733 adlib-term-107733 00160189-e3ce-3796-a88b-5aa8d6c808c4 lead-glaze Depth cm 12.5 Depth in 5 Height cm 34.5 Height in 13.5 Width cm 18.5 Width in 7.25 reference media-33927 adlib-media-33927 21575391-27ea-354a-ad81-c0430ac60d52 jpeg aa/aa2/C_1014_1928_281_29.jpg 1 height pixels 740 width pixels 570 1702926308738 1 image jpeg aa/aa2/mid_C_1014_1928_281_29.jpg 1 height pixels 649 width pixels 500 1702926308738 1 image jpeg aa/aa2/C_1014_1928_281_29.jpg 1 height pixels 740 width pixels 570 1702926308738 1 image jpeg aa/aa2/preview_C_1014_1928_281_29.jpg 1 height pixels 325 width pixels 250 1702926308738 1 image 0 media image reference media-33928 adlib-media-33928 fc538338-2f1e-32b7-a042-a02f0e8070d8 jpeg aa/aa2/C_1014_1928_282_29.jpg 1 height pixels 740 width pixels 570 1702926496687 1 image jpeg aa/aa2/mid_C_1014_1928_282_29.jpg 1 height pixels 649 width pixels 500 1702926496687 1 image jpeg aa/aa2/C_1014_1928_282_29.jpg 1 height pixels 740 width pixels 570 1702926496687 1 image jpeg aa/aa2/preview_C_1014_1928_282_29.jpg 1 height pixels 325 width pixels 250 1702926496687 1 image 1 media image reference term-107454 adlib-term-107454 6ca0f2ab-c1f8-329d-8a45-8f1322f53a20 figure object name reference term-130674 adlib-term-130674 2728ba11-801b-318a-8f24-c6f4b99f08e3 Victorian Staffordshire figure category reference term-130678 adlib-term-130678 c683fbc6-ba3a-3ab1-b2f5-41493ff3588d flat-backed figure category history note Wm Brough and Sons, 312 and 313 Broad Street, Birmingham, bought on 29 May, 1913 for £2 and five shillings, by Dr Glaisher, Trinity College, Cambridge. 1 reference object-71132 adlib-object-71132 bdc797ca-440e-3608-8d79-743f5b21d8c3
