EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming music cover, titled "The Bloomer Polka & Bloomer Schottische," is a fascinating glimpse into the Victorian era, circa 1850s. The cover is dedicated to "Mrs. Colonel Bloomer," and the lively dance tunes depicted on the sheet music are the Bloomer Polka and Bloomer Schottische. The image on the cover features a group of women, dressed in bloomer costumes, engaging in the dances named after them. Bloomer costumes were a controversial fashion trend for women at the time, consisting of short, tight-fitting trousers worn beneath a tunic or skirt. The women in the image are shown with parasols in hand and a carefree expression on their faces, suggesting a sense of liberation and enjoyment. The Bloomer Polka and Bloomer Schottische were popular dances during the mid-19th century, and the cover art reflects the lively and energetic nature of these dances. The women are depicted in the midst of the street, surrounded by onlookers, suggesting that the dances were a social event and a source of entertainment for the community. The cover art also showcases the Victorian era's attention to detail and elegance, with intricate patterns and designs adorning the women's costumes and the parasols. The overall effect is a delightful and whimsical representation of a bygone era, offering a glimpse into the fashion, culture, and social norms of the time. This music cover is a valuable historical artifact, providing insight into the lives of women during the Victorian era and the role of dance in their social lives. It is a reminder of the power of music and dance to bring people together and create joy and community, even in the face of social and cultural changes.
