EDITORS COMMENTS
The Stable Call Polka" is a captivating music cover illustration by J.G. Jones, showcasing the lively and energetic atmosphere of a Victorian-era military camp. The image, dedicated to Captain Coster of the 16th Queens Lancers, transports us back in time to the 1850s, an era of grandeur and military prowess. At the heart of the scene, we see a group of soldiers gathered around their bandmaster, Master of the Band Jones, as he conducts a spirited polka tune. The band, comprised of men in uniform, play their instruments with enthusiasm, their faces expressing a sense of joy and camaraderie. In the background, horses stand in their stalls, their grooms attending to them, while other soldiers look on, some engaged in the dance, others watching with amusement. The stable setting adds an interesting contrast to the lively music, highlighting the balance between the military and the more lighthearted moments of camp life. The intricate details of the horses, their tack, and the stables themselves add a sense of authenticity to the scene, making it a fascinating glimpse into the past. Captain Coster, the dedicatee of the cover, is depicted in the foreground, dressed in his military uniform and looking on with approval as the polka unfolds before him. The image captures the essence of the Victorian era, with its attention to detail, sense of order, and appreciation for music and dance. Overall, "The Stable Call Polka" is a beautiful and evocative piece of historical art, offering a unique perspective on the daily life of a Victorian military camp and the role of music and dance in bringing soldiers together.
