Exotic Fans Performer Pole Pose Posing Scrap Performing
EDITORS COMMENTS
Victorian Scrap: An Oriental Performer with Fan, Circa 1880s This image captures the essence of Victorian-era entertainment, as an enigmatic Oriental performer poses gracefully with a pair of ornate fans. Dressed in vibrant red and yellow robes, adorned with intricate gold embroidery and fringes, she exudes an air of mystery and allure. The performer's pose is both seductive and elegant, as she delicately holds the fans, one in each hand, with a knowing smile. The setting of the photograph is equally intriguing, with a richly decorated backdrop of gold and red, reminiscent of Eastern palaces or royal courts. A tall, ornate pole stands behind her, suggesting the possibility of an aerial performance. The use of props such as the fans and the pole further emphasizes the exotic and theatrical nature of the entertainment. The photograph is a testament to the popularity of Orientalism during the Victorian era, a period marked by a fascination with the exotic and the foreign. The image is also a reflection of the diverse and eclectic range of performances that were common during this time, which included music, dance, acrobatics, and magic. The photograph, titled "Victorian Scrap: An Oriental Performer with Fan, Circa 1880s," is a rare and fascinating glimpse into the world of Victorian entertainment. It invites us to explore the complex and intriguing relationship between the West and the East during this period, and to appreciate the artistry and skill of the performers who brought the exotic to life on the Victorian stage.
