EDITORS COMMENTS
This music cover, titled "The Princess of Trebizonde Quadrille," dates back to 1869 and showcases an elegant and lively dance scene. The cover is based on the opera of the same name by Jacques Offenbach, a renowned French composer of the 19th century. The image features a group of well-dressed men, their faces expressive with concentration and enjoyment, as they execute the intricate steps of the quadrille dance. The quadrille was a popular social dance during the 1860s, characterized by its formal structure and repetitive pattern. Each man danced with every other woman in the set, making it a lively and engaging social event. The dance was often accompanied by lively music, as seen in this cover where a drummer is depicted in the foreground, ready to provide the rhythm for the dancers. The cover art for "The Princess of Trebizonde Quadrille" is a beautiful example of the ornate and detailed illustrations that were common in sheet music covers of the time. The title and composer's name, "Arban," are elegantly written in script, adding to the refined and sophisticated appearance of the cover. The image of the dancers is framed by intricate floral designs and scrollwork, further emphasizing the elegance and beauty of the dance. Overall, this music cover offers a glimpse into the social and cultural history of the 1860s, showcasing the popularity of the quadrille dance and the ornate illustrations that adorned sheet music covers of the time.
