EDITORS COMMENTS
Music Hall Song / Parcel: A Burlesque Ballad - Who Knows What a Parcel May Contain? (1894) This intriguing photograph captures a moment from a Victorian burlesque performance, titled "Music Hall Song / Parcel." The image features a woman, dressed in a provocative and elaborate stripping costume, holding a large parcel before an audience in a music hall or cabaret setting. The atmosphere is charged with anticipation and curiosity as the audience members lean forward, their expressions a mix of excitement and intrigue. The title of the song suggests that the parcel may contain a surprise, but the nature of that surprise is left to the imagination. The possibilities are endless - an abandoned baby, a pawned overcoat, a strippers costume, a dog for drowning, or perhaps something more sinister. The audience is left to ponder the mystery, as the woman teasingly unravels the string that holds the parcel closed. The photograph offers a glimpse into the world of Victorian burlesque, a form of entertainment that pushed the boundaries of social norms and morality. The performers used double entendres, innuendo, and provocative costumes to entertain and titillate their audiences. The setting of the music hall or cabaret added to the sense of excitement and danger, as the performers and their audiences came together to experience a world of pleasure and transgression. This photograph is a reminder of the rich and complex history of music hall and burlesque entertainment, and the enduring power of the human imagination to be captivated by the unknown.
