EDITORS COMMENTS
This music sheet cover, titled "Lulu Waltz" by Charles Coote Junior, showcases the enchanting transformation of a boy acrobat into a renowned trapeze artist. The image features Lulu, formerly known as El Nino Farini, who was in fact Sam Wasgate (1855-1939). Born as the adopted son of the famous tightrope walker and acrobat, The Great Farini (William Leonard Hunt, 1838-1929), Sam's life was destined for the spotlight from an early age. As El Nino Farini, Sam gained fame for his daring acrobatic feats alongside his father. However, as the 1870s approached, Sam made a bold decision to reinvent himself as a female trapeze artist named Lulu. The audacious move not only intrigued audiences but also added an alluring element to the circus scene. This music sheet cover, dated circa 1871, encapsulates the essence of Lulu's new identity. Her graceful pose, adorned in a flowing gown, contrasts sharply with her former acrobatic attire. The title "Lulu Waltz" suggests a connection to the dance craze of the time, further emphasizing her transition into a sophisticated entertainer. Charles Coote Junior's skillful illustration beautifully encapsulates the spirit of the era and the intrigue surrounding Lulu's transformation. This artifact offers a glimpse into the fascinating world of 19th-century entertainment and the captivating story of Sam Wasgate, the boy acrobat who became the enigmatic Lulu.
