EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we witness a momentous occasion at Southwark Cathedral as Mrs. Dorothy Hammerstein, the esteemed widow of Oscar Hammerstein, unveils a plaque to honor her late husband's remarkable work. The atmosphere is filled with reverence and admiration for the legendary composer. At the center of attention stands Constance Shacklock, an opera singer renowned for her portrayal of Mother Abbess in "The Sound of Music". Her powerful voice resonates through the cathedral as she performs Schubert's enchanting piece, "To Music" adding an ethereal touch to this already extraordinary event. Seated beside Mrs. Hammerstein are Richard Rogers and his wife, who collaborated closely with Oscar on numerous iconic projects. Their presence serves as a testament to the enduring legacy that these talented individuals have left behind. Completing this poignant scene is Mr. Hammerstein's daughter, whose expression reflects both pride and nostalgia for her father's contributions to music and entertainment. Together, they form a united front in preserving his memory and ensuring that his genius continues to inspire generations to come. Captured on May 24th, 1961, by photographer Freddie Cole from Memory Lane Prints, this image encapsulates not only the significance of family bonds but also showcases how artistry can transcend time and leave an indelible mark on our hearts.
