EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to 1914 with this print from Mary Evans Picture Library. The image captures a professional couple demonstrating the tango, which was still considered an exotic novelty at the time. The scene takes place at the prestigious Savoy Hotel in London, where supper guests are treated to a mesmerizing display of this passionate dance.
In this snapshot of upper-class British society in the early 20th century, we see a glimpse of history unfolding before our eyes. The couple's precise movements and elegant attire speak to their skill and dedication as dancers. As they twirl and glide across the floor, it is clear that they are masters of their craft.
The setting adds another layer of sophistication to the scene, with the opulent surroundings of the Savoy Hotel providing a glamorous backdrop for this demonstration. The onlookers appear entranced by the performance, perhaps experiencing the tango for the first time and marveling at its allure.
This print is not just a visual record of a social event; it is a window into a bygone era when dance was an important form of entertainment and expression among high society. It serves as a reminder of how artistry and culture have always played integral roles in shaping human experiences throughout history.
