EDITORS COMMENTS
The Man on the Flying Trapeze," a captivating waltz song cover from 1934, showcases the thrilling world of the circus and the daring feats of acrobats. The image features an acrobat, dressed in red, white, and black, poised on a flying trapeze high above the ground, with the spotlight illuminating his every move. The audience below, a sea of spectators, watches with bated breath as the performer readies himself for the next daring leap. The cover art, designed to accompany the sheet music for the song, was penned by George Leybourne and set to music by Alfred Lee. The song, a popular waltz of the 1930s, was performed by Shaw and Weston. The piano accompaniment, indicated on the cover, was intended for the use of a tutor or pianist, with the price of sixpence (6d) listed for the sheet music. The image evokes a sense of excitement, vertigo, and the thrill of live entertainment. The acrobat's determined expression and the tension in his body convey the high stakes of his performance, while the audience's rapt attention underscores the shared experience of witnessing such a feat. The red, white, and black color palette adds to the sense of drama and excitement, transporting us back to the era of the 1930s and the golden age of circus entertainment. This cover art serves as a reminder of the power of music and performance to transport us to another time and place, and the enduring allure of the circus and its acrobatic performers.
