EDITORS COMMENTS
This music cover from 1895 showcases the enchanting song "Sister Ria," sung by the talented Miss Lizzie Fletcher. The composition was penned by A.J. Mills and brought to life through the melodic arrangements of Arthur Lennard. The image presents Miss Fletcher in an elegant pose, holding a tambourine and donning the uniform of the Salvation Army. The late Victorian era, with its intricate moral debates surrounding entertainment and performance, provides the backdrop for this scene. Miss Fletcher's expressive eyes and confident posture exude a sense of joy and passion, drawing the viewer in. The ornate design of the cover, adorned with intricate patterns and flourishes, reflects the opulence and grandeur of the era. The image of a woman, particularly a performer, in Salvation Army attire was a common theme during this time, as it represented both a sense of moral righteousness and an opportunity to showcase talent and artistry. The image invites us to imagine the lively and energetic performance that would have accompanied this song. The dance hall or empire ballroom setting, where Sister Ria would have been performed, would have been filled with the sounds of lively music, the clinking of glasses, and the laughter and chatter of an engaged audience. The Sister Ria song, with its catchy melody and thought-provoking lyrics, would have been a popular choice for such an event, providing both entertainment and a sense of moral upliftment for its listeners.
