EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite music sheet cover, dating back to the 1840s, showcases the enchanting composition of the "Queen of the May Quadrille" by the renowned French conductor Louis Antoine Jullien. Dedicated to the celebrated actress Frances Crawford Kemble, as Mrs. Robert Arkwright, this musical piece pays homage to the tradition of choosing a Queen of the May during the spring season. The allegorical figure depicted on the cover represents the month of May, dressed in a stunning pink chiffon gown, with bare feet adorned in pink roses. Her ringlet curls are crowned with a garland of roses, symbolizing the blooming season and the joyous custom. The delicate pink border, intricate decorative elements, and the low-cut decollete neckline add to the early Victorian style and elegance of the design. This music sheet cover is a beautiful testament to the rich history of music, tradition, and symbolism during the 19th century.
