EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning piano cover for The Real Irish Polkas, published in the early 19th century, showcases an elegant and fashionable young couple engaged in a lively dance. The cover art, arranged for the pianoforte by Ricardo Linter, transports us back to a time of grandeur and royal entertainment. The setting is reminiscent of Her Majesty's Balls, Almack's, and the Opera Houses of Milan, Paris, Vienna, and London. The young man, dressed in a fashionable jacket and waistcoat, wears a top hat and holds his partner's hand, leading her gracefully through the intricate steps of the Irish Polka. She, in turn, is adorned in an elegant gown with a full skirt, intricate bodice, and ringlet curls. The couple's attire reflects the fashionable styles of the 1840s, with the woman's dress featuring a pink and green color palette and the man's jacket boasting a decorative border. The cover art also includes a border adorned with shamrocks, a symbol of Ireland, further emphasizing the Irish origin of the polkas. The image exudes an air of historical significance, with the influence of royalty and British culture evident in the setting and the couple's attire. Ricardo Linter's arrangement of The Real Irish Polkas was published in the mid-19th century and was likely popular among the aristocracy and upper classes, who would have attended the grand balls and operas depicted in the cover art. The image is a beautiful representation of the dance's historical significance and the elegance and style of the era.
