EDITORS COMMENTS
In this engraving titled "Choosing the 'Gaiety' Chorus" we are transported back to the vibrant world of performing arts in the late 19th century. The scene is set in a grand theatre, where a brilliant audience eagerly awaits the selection of new members for the renowned Gaiety Chorus. Amidst an array of pianos and musical instruments, we catch a glimpse of an unexpected twist in this tale. A heedless housemaid, dressed in brown holland drapes circles around her as she cleans diligently, seemingly unaware of the bustling activity surrounding her. Her presence adds a touch of domesticity amidst all the glamour. The empty vault-like space at one end suggests that this may be a backstage area or perhaps even an audition room where aspiring performers await their turn to shine on stage. Meanwhile, from high up in the gallery, servants and attendants observe with curiosity as they carry out their duties. This enchanting print captures not only the excitement and anticipation within the theater but also provides us with a rare glimpse into everyday life behind-the-scenes during that era. It reminds us that while performances may transport us to another world, there are countless individuals working tirelessly behind closed doors to make it all possible. Bridgeman Images has once again brought history alive through this remarkable piece from their collection – offering us both artistic beauty and historical insight into a bygone era of entertainment.
