EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the sheet music cover of "La Polka du Hanneton" by Charles Ferlus, a delightful composition from the late 19th century. The artwork, created by an anonymous French artist, is part of a private collection and depicts a whimsical scene that captures the essence of this lively polka. The image transports us to a circus-like setting under the enchanting glow of the moon. At its center stands a peculiar insect - perhaps a grasshopper or beetle - personified as a clownish character. With its vibrant colors and intricate details, this drawing exudes charm and playfulness. The partition itself becomes an integral element in this visual narrative, with musical notes dancing across it like acrobats performing daring feats. It invites us to imagine the joyful melodies that would accompany this spirited polka when played on instruments. Leonard de Selva's expert photography skillfully captures every nuance and texture of this historical piece while preserving its original allure. Through his lens, we can appreciate both the artistry behind Ferlus' creation and de Selva's own talent for capturing fine art in all its glory. This remarkable print not only celebrates music but also serves as a testament to how art transcends time. It allows us to experience firsthand the magic that was once enjoyed by audiences during performances over a century ago.
