1897 Carl Enjoyment Fancy Maid Pierrot Pointed Sheet Waltz
EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into the enchanting world of a late Victorian fancy dress party, as depicted in this beautiful music cover for "The French Maid Waltz," arranged by Carl Kiefert and published in 1897. The image transports us back in time to an era of elegance and merriment, where people donned elaborate costumes to celebrate and let their hair down. At the center of the cover, a French maid, dressed in her iconic uniform complete with a pointed hat and apron, gracefully waltzes with a pierrot clad in white, his face hidden behind a large, conical hat. The French maid's flowing skirt billows out, revealing the intricate detailing of her petticoats, while her companion's white suit and red nose add a touch of whimsy to the scene. Surrounding the dancers, other partygoers are shown in various stages of enjoyment. Some laugh and clap, while others watch the waltz with admiration. The cover's border is adorned with intricate floral designs and scrollwork, further emphasizing the elegance and attention to detail that characterized the late Victorian era. This music cover, a charming relic from the 1890s, invites us to imagine the fun and enjoyment that must have filled the room as the French Maid Waltz played on the piano, inspiring couples to twirl and dance the night away.
