La Boulangere Polka
EDITORS COMMENTS
by Max Fruhling: A Vibrant Snapshot of Victorian Entertainment This print showcases the lively and enchanting "La Boulangere Polka" by Max Fruhling, a popular musical piece that was inspired by Jacques Offenbach's music from the opera "La Boulangère de Faverney." The image, reminiscent of the 1880s aesthetic movement, was first performed in England at the Globe Theatre on 16 April 1881. The scene unfolds in a bustling bakery, where the baker, dressed in traditional attire, skillfully kneads dough as he hums along to the infectious polka melody. The aroma of freshly baked bread wafts through the air, adding to the inviting atmosphere. In the background, a group of lovers, lost in their own world, dance together, their joyful expressions reflecting the romantic spirit of the era. The English version of this musical gem was introduced to the public just a week after the highly acclaimed production of Gilbert and Sullivan's "Patience," which became the most famous satire on the aesthetic movement at the time. This print, produced by the esteemed J.B. Cramer & Co. of 201 Regent Street, London, serves as a testament to the vibrant and diverse entertainment scene of the Victorian era. The intricate details and rich colors of this print transport us back in time, offering a glimpse into the world of music, dance, and romance that captivated audiences over a century ago. Whether you're an admirer of history, music, or the arts, this image is sure to inspire and delight.
