Those are cool as hell!

I did have to look up Jenny Lind: Swedish Opera singer from the 19th century.

There are no known surviving recordings of Lind's voice. She is believed to have made an early phonograph recording for Thomas Edison, but in the words of the critic Philip L. Miller, "Even had the fabled Edison cylinder survived, it would have been too primitive, and she too long retired, to tell us much"

So much history in those cards!

Funny enough I volunteer at this mansion in NJ called Burrowes Mansion which is famous for the Civil War. We have a room with a Jenni Lind style bed and I just think it was fate I pulled that card

Those are some great names to get, I love HA stuff.

Jenny Lind probably had a small resurgence in pop culture as she was a character in The Greatest Showman with Hugh Jackman

Another Jenny Lind factoid: Both Felix Mendelssohn and Hans Christian Andersen proposed to her!
