EDITORS COMMENTS
a captivating ballet production from the 1850s, is depicted in this elegant music cover. The ballet, a collaboration between the renowned dancers Cerrito and Leon, was set to music by Pugni and Leon, with a quadrille choreographed by Marcailhou. This ballet was not affiliated with any specific company. The image on the cover illustrates the opening scene of the performance, which was inspired by the French countryside. A man and a woman, dressed in traditional villager attire, are depicted in the center, engaged in a lively dance. The woman, portrayed as a washerwoman, wears a red apron and holds a laundry basket, while the man, wearing a straw hat and holding a staff, looks down at her with admiration. The ballet consisted of various dance styles, including waltz, valse, mazurka, redowa, and polka. The cover art beautifully captures the essence of these folk dances, with the couple moving in perfect harmony, their bodies flowing gracefully with the music. The background is adorned with vibrant colors and intricate patterns, adding to the overall charm of the scene. The music cover, published by Messemaekers, is a testament to the popularity of "La Vivandière" during the 1850s. The ballet was undoubtedly a crowd-pleaser, with its lively music and captivating performances, and this cover art provides a glimpse into the joy and excitement it brought to audiences of the time. The image remains a beautiful representation of the rich history of ballet and the enduring appeal of traditional folk dances.
