EDITORS COMMENTS
May Somerville, a captivating young woman of the late Victorian era, gracefully poses as a Dancing Girl in this enchanting photograph from the 1890s. With a radiant smile and an air of playful mischief, she holds a tambourine in her raised right hand, inviting the viewer to join in the lively dance. Her costume, adorned with intricate beadwork and shimmering sequins, reflects the opulence and glamour of the Footlights Favourites, a popular theatrical troupe of the time. May's arms are elegantly extended, adding to the dynamic and expressive nature of the image. Her fluid movements and animated expression suggest a deep connection to the character she is portraying, making her an instant favourite among theatre-goers. The stage, with its ornate backdrop and theatrical lighting, sets the scene for this performance. The Dancing Girl was a common role for young women in late 19th-century theatre, providing entertainment for audiences with their graceful and often provocative movements. May Somerville's portrayal of this character showcases her natural talent and charisma, making her an enduring symbol of the vibrant and evocative world of Victorian entertainment. This photograph is a testament to the artistry and allure of the past, offering a glimpse into a bygone era of theatre and dance.
