EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a scene from the 1844 production of La Esmeralda, a ballet choreographed by Cesare Pugni and performed at Her Majesty's Theatre in London. At the center of the image, a male ballet dancer gracefully jumps, surrounded by a group of elegant ballerinas. The dancer's costume, featuring a fitted bodice and flowing skirt, exudes a sense of strength and agility. The ballerinas, dressed in graceful muslin skirts and ornate bodices, adorned with flowers and garlands, add an air of femininity and beauty to the scene. The setting is the early 1840s, as evidenced by the ornate Victorian decor and the use of garlands and flowers. The scene depicted is likely from the Quadrilles section of the ballet, a popular dance form of the time characterized by lively, synchronized movements. Charles W. Glover's illustration masterfully captures the grandeur and majesty of the performance, with the dancers poised in mid-movement, frozen in time on this sheet of music cover. The image invites us to imagine the energy and excitement of the live performance, transporting us back to a bygone era of beauty and artistry. This print is a testament to the rich history of ballet and the enduring appeal of its graceful movements and stunning visuals. It is a must-have for any ballet enthusiast or collector of historical prints.
