Step into the vibrant world of Victorian entertainment with this promotional music sheet for The Young Recruit Quadrille of 1858 by Stephen Glover. The intricately designed artwork, created by the renowned John Brandard, invites us into a scene of lively music and dance. At the heart of the image, a young man is being earnestly recruited by a determined recruiting sergeant, dressed in the regalia of the military. The sergeant's stern expression and outstretched hand contrast sharply with the young man's hesitant, uncertain posture, creating a sense of tension and anticipation. The Quadrille was a popular dance form during the 1850s, and this promotional sheet offers a glimpse into the social and cultural milieu of the time.

This image offers a fascinating insight into the ways in which music, dance, and theatre were used for leisure and enjoyment in Victorian society. The Young Recruit Quadrille would have been performed in music halls, theatres, and social gatherings, providing an opportunity for people to come together and share in a communal experience. The promotional sheet serves as a reminder of the power of art and music to transport us to another time and place, and to connect us with the people and stories of the past.
