EDITORS COMMENTS
This image showcases a dancer from Madrid, Spain, in the mid-19th century, gracefully executing a step in the traditional Spanish dance, either the Fandango or Bolero. The woman wears an elegant attire that reflects the vibrant and passionate spirit of these dances. Her dress consists of a short, full petticoat, a tight corset that accentuates her waist, and a bodice adorned with intricate patterns. Her hair is styled in ribbons, cascading down her back, and she holds castanets in her hands, ready to create the rhythmic clicks that accompany the dance. This enchanting depiction is a hand-colored copperplate engraving, created by Georges Jacques Gatine based on an original illustration by Louis Marie Lante. The illustration was published in the book "Costumes of Various Countries" or "Costumes de Divers Pays," which was released in Paris in 1827. The meticulous attention to detail in the engraving allows us to appreciate the intricacies of the dancer's attire and the expressiveness of her movements. This image offers a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of Spain during the 19th century and the enduring allure of its traditional dances.
