EDITORS COMMENTS
This promotional music sheet from the late 1800s showcases two popular dance tunes of the era: "The Crinoline Varsoviana" by E. Reyloff and "Schottische" by J. A. Fowler. The large, partly coloured print features a graceful lady dressed in the height of Victorian fashion, proudly displaying an enormous crinoline skirt that had recently come into vogue. The crinoline, a hoop skirt made of steel or whalebone, was a symbol of elegance and status during this period. Surrounding the central image are smaller vignettes that illustrate the potential challenges of wearing such a voluminous skirt. One scene shows a lady tripping over a step, another depicts a gentleman attempting to help a lady up after she's fallen, and yet another shows a lady skillfully navigating a crowded dance floor. These playful illustrations add a touch of humor and lightheartedness to the promotional material. The setting for this scene is a grand music hall or theatre, where people gathered for leisure and enjoyment. The music sheet likely served as advertising material for a singer or performer who would have sung or played these tunes for their audience. The intricate artwork and attention to detail in the print demonstrate the care and craftsmanship that went into creating promotional materials during this time. This print offers a glimpse into the world of Victorian entertainment and the fashion trends that defined the era. The crinoline skirt, with its iconic hoop design, became a symbol of the opulence and extravagance of the 1850s and 1860s, and this print captures its essence perfectly.
