EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the enchanting world of 19th-century ballet. Captured in 1845 at the Princess Theatre in London, it showcases a scene from the mesmerizing production of "Le Diable a Quatre". The choreography by Joseph Mazilier, accompanied by the beautiful music composed by Adolphe Adam, Cesare Pugni, and Ludwig Minkus, brings this ballet to life on stage. In this particular moment frozen in time, we witness Mazourka, the skilled basket-maker and protagonist of our story. With his undeniable charm and determination evident on his face, he employs more than conjugal coaxing to persuade his wife to dance alongside him. The chemistry between them is palpable as they prepare for their performance. The elegance and grace of both male and female dancers are highlighted through their meticulously crafted costumes that exude Victorian opulence. This engraving from "Illustrated London News" transports us into an era where theater was not only a form of entertainment but also an art form cherished by British society. As we gaze upon this remarkable image captured by an unknown artist from Heritage Images collection, we can't help but be transported back in time - witnessing the passion and dedication that went into creating such breathtaking performances on stage.
