EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Soldier (colour litho)" by Percy Anderson takes us back to the vibrant world of burlesque in the late 19th century. The image showcases a scene from the popular play "Carmen Up To Date" performed at the renowned Gaiety Theatre. In this particular moment, we see a striking contrast between two characters: Carmen, an alluring girl known for her seductive charm, and a soldier dressed in his military uniform. The soldier's expression reveals both admiration and surprise as he gazes upon Carmen's beauty. The cross-dressing theme adds an element of intrigue to the composition, highlighting society's fascination with gender roles and breaking traditional norms. As such, this lithograph captures not only a theatrical performance but also reflects broader cultural shifts during that era. Anderson's artistic talent shines through in his meticulous attention to detail, particularly evident in the intricate costumes worn by both characters. His skillful use of color brings vibrancy to every aspect of the print. This print serves as a valuable historical artifact, offering us a glimpse into the world of entertainment during this period while showcasing Anderson's remarkable artistry. It is undoubtedly an exquisite addition to any private collection or gallery space seeking to celebrate both fine art and theatrical history alike.
