EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite music cover, titled "The Louise Polka," showcases the elegance and charm of Victorian-era dance and entertainment. Composed by W.H. Montgomery, the polka was brought to life by the skilled dancers Mr. J. Marshall and Miss Palser on the prestigious stage of London's Theatre Royal in Drury Lane around 1850. The cover art is adorned with intricate floral designs, symbolizing the beauty and grace of nature, which was a common theme in Victorian art. The two dancers, dressed in fashionable attire of the time, are depicted in mid-polka, their lively movements reflected in the mirror-like surface of the pond behind them. The woman on the left, Miss Palser, gracefully lifts her skirt to reveal her ankles, a daring yet elegant move for the time. Her partner, Mr. Marshall, holds her waist, guiding her through the dance. The women's hair is styled in elaborate updos, adorned with flowers and ribbons, adding to their feminine allure. The cover also includes the title of the polka, the names of the composers, and the dancers, as well as the location and year of the performance. This beautiful piece of history offers a glimpse into the world of Victorian dance and entertainment, a time when music and dance brought people together to celebrate life's simple pleasures.
