EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting music cover, titled "Les Parisiennes: Three New Polkas" (The Parisian Women), is a captivating glimpse into the elegance and lightheartedness of 19th-century Parisian society. The cover, featuring six graceful women, was published by renowned French composer Frederic Burgmuller around the 1850s. Each woman is depicted in a seated position, playing the polka on a piano with an expression of pure joy and merriment. The three polkas represented in this collection are "L'Enjouée" (The Flirt), "La Coquette" (The Coquette), and "La Gracieuse" (The Graceful One). The polka, a popular dance of the time, was known for its lively and spirited rhythm, making it the perfect choice for these Parisian women to showcase their grace and agility. The cover art itself is a testament to the beauty and charm of Parisian women during this era. Each woman is depicted with a unique and expressive personality, from the playful flirtatiousness of "L'Enjouée" to the demure elegance of "La Gracieuse." The intricate details of their dresses, hairstyles, and accessories add to the overall allure of the image. This music cover is not only a beautiful work of art but also a valuable historical document, providing a window into the social and cultural norms of Parisian society during the 1850s. The polka, as well as the image of these Parisian women, continues to be celebrated as a symbol of grace, beauty, and the joy of music and dance.
