EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the legendary Italian opera composer Giacomo Puccini, holding a set of his most famous work, "Madame Butterfly," in its complete 16-record format. The year was 1930, and the price for this comprehensive collection was a substantial sum of three pounds and twelve shillings, equivalent to at least 100 pounds in today's currency. The sixpence-sized coins in Puccini's hand serve as a poignant reminder of the monetary value of music during that era. Puccini, an iconic figure in the world of opera, penned some of the most beloved and enduring operas in history, including "La Bohème," "Tosca," and "Turandot." "Madame Butterfly," premiered in 1904, is a timeless story of love, loss, and redemption, set against the backdrop of Japan and the United States. The records in this photograph are a testament to the enduring appeal of Puccini's music, which continues to captivate audiences worldwide. The meticulously crafted vinyl records, each priced at 4 shillings and sixpence, were the primary means of experiencing opera at home during the early 20th century. The intricate album covers, adorned with beautiful illustrations and detailed liner notes, added to the overall allure of the music. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, allowing us to appreciate the historical significance of Puccini's music and the role that record collections played in bringing opera into people's homes. The image of Puccini, holding the complete set of "Madame Butterfly," serves as a poignant reminder of the rich musical heritage that continues to inspire and captivate us today.
