Footnotes: Lily Pons (1898–1976), a World class operatic soprano and actress who had an active career, from the 1920s to 1970s. Specializing in the coloratura soprano repertoire, Pons, in addition to appearing as a guest artist with many opera houses internationally, enjoyed a particularly long association with the Metropolitan Opera in New York City where she performed nearly 300 times between 1931 and 1960. In 1934, Lily Pons flew from Rio de Janeiro to Germany on the airship Graf Zeppelin, she dined at the Captains table every day and was presented with these pieces of china upon arrival in Germany.
