EDITORS COMMENTS
A hauntingly beautiful scene from Act II of Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky's timeless ballet, Swan Lake, as depicted in this exquisite silver print. The Swan Princess, with her ethereal grace and swan-like features, implores Siegfried not to shoot, revealing the truth that she and her followers are under the wicked spell of the sorcerer Rothbart. Set against the backdrop of the tranquil moonlit lake, the silhouette of the hunter, Siegfried, stands determined with his crossbow, unaware of the magic that surrounds him. This illustration, reminiscent of the 1870s and 1960s, transports us to a historical fairy tale world filled with enchantment and mystery. Based on Russian and German folk tales, Swan Lake was first performed in 1877, and its enduring popularity is a testament to the power of Tchaikovsky's music and the timeless appeal of this classic tale. The corps de ballet of swans, their white tutus shimmering in the moonlight, add to the dreamlike quality of this magical scene.
