EDITORS COMMENTS
A captivating image from 1913 capturing the height of the Tango craze in London, as the humble Argentine origins of this passionate dance were contrasted with the elegant and wealthy British set who had taken it up. In this photograph, a couple gracefully executes the intricate steps of the Tango, their formal attire and polished manners a stark contrast to the rugged cowboys and gauchos of Argentina, who had originally developed the dance. The man, dressed in a tailored suit and top hat, leads his partner, an elegantly dressed woman in a flowing gown and feather headpiece, through the dance. The opulence of the London ballroom setting is a far cry from the simple, earthy origins of the Tango, which had originated in the working-class neighborhoods of Buenos Aires. The Tango craze had swept through Europe, reaching its peak in London, where it became a symbol of sophistication and class distinction. This photograph is a fascinating glimpse into the history of the Tango, showcasing the contrast between its humble beginnings and its transformation into a dance beloved by the wealthy and fashionable set.
