EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite music cover, titled "The Lancers Quadrilles: Seventh Edition," showcases a dashing lancer on horseback, poised and ready for the dance floor. The cover art, published in 1839, is from the seventh edition of this popular quadrille set, which includes the dances "Les Graces," "La Dorset," "Lodoiska," "La Native," and "Les Lanciers." These quadrilles were danced at esteemed social venues such as Almack's in London and The Rotunda in Dublin. The quadrille craze swept through Europe and the Americas during the 19th century, and this set, published by Duval of Dublin, was particularly beloved. The proper figures and choreography for each dance are included in both French and English, making it accessible to an international audience. The cover art depicts a man in a cavalry uniform, complete with epaulettes, helmet, and feathers, holding a lance and sword. His prancing horse, adorned with a saddle and bridle, adds to the overall sense of elegance and refinement. The inclusion of a new waltz by Signor Spagnoletti and the stop waltz further enhances the value of this quadrille set. The dedication of this seventh edition to the Countess of Farnham underscores the aristocratic nature of these dances, which were popular among the elite classes of society. The cover art serves as a visual representation of the grace, beauty, and skill required to master these quadrilles, making it a treasured piece of dance history.
