EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the renowned German pianist, Wilhelm Backhaus. Taken in 1907 by Rotary Photo, this portrait captures Backhaus in an Edwardian setting, with his arms crossed and a direct gaze that exudes confidence and artistry. Backhaus, born in 1884 and passing away in 1969, was a highly acclaimed musician known for his exceptional piano skills. His talent resonated through every note he played, making him one of the most celebrated pianists of the 20th century. In this image, Backhaus sits gracefully at the piano bench, his hair neatly combed as he prepares to mesmerize audiences with his music. The monochrome aesthetic adds depth to the photograph while emphasizing the timeless quality of Backhaus' artistry. This postcard-like print serves as a testament to both communication and music during its time period. It represents an era when postal services were relied upon for sharing personal messages or capturing cherished moments like this one. Preserved by The Print Collector6 collection from Heritage Images, it allows us to appreciate not only Backhaus' musical genius but also the historical significance of photography as a means of documentation. Wilhelm Backhaus continues to inspire generations with his profound contributions to classical music.
