In this black-and-white photograph, Dame Genevieve Ward (1874-1966) gracefully embodies the complex and tragic role of Queen Margaret in William Shakespeare's Richard III. The image, taken during the early 20th century, captures Ward in the midst of a powerful and emotional performance. Born in the United States in 1874, Ward's career as a soprano and actress spanned over five decades. She made her professional debut in 1897 and quickly gained recognition for her exceptional vocal and acting abilities. In 1902, she made her London debut as Desdemona in Otello, and in 1905, she made her first appearance at the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden. Ward's portrayal of Queen Margaret in Shakespeare's Richard III is considered one of her most memorable roles. Queen Margaret is a central figure in the play, and her character undergoes a significant transformation from a grieving widow to a vengeful and vindictive woman. Ward's ability to convey the depth and complexity of this character was widely praised by critics and audiences alike. The photograph, taken during a performance of Richard III in 1922, shows Ward in the midst of delivering a passionate and impassioned speech. Her intense expression and regal posture convey the strength and determination of Queen Margaret, making it a truly striking and memorable image. Ward's career continued to flourish, and she went on to perform in numerous operas and plays, both in the United States and in Europe. She was awarded a Dame Commander of the Order of the British Empire (DBE) in 1935 for her services to music and drama. Ward's legacy as a soprano and actress continues to be celebrated, and this photograph serves as a testament to her extraordinary talent and enduring impact on the world of performing arts.
