EDITORS COMMENTS
This music cover from the 1840s showcases The Pantomime Quadrille, a lively and entertaining dance performance that took place at Jullien's Promenade Concerts at the Theatre Royal in Drury Lane, London, around 1849. The Pantomime Quadrille was a popular form of early Victorian entertainment that combined elements of commedia dell'arte and pantomime, featuring beloved characters such as Harlequin, Columbine, Pantaloon, and Pantalone, as well as clowns and other comic figures. The cover illustration depicts a joyful scene with young girls and boys invited to join in the fun. The title of the Quadrille includes two well-known tunes from the era: "Girls and Boys Come Out to Play" and "Little Bo Peep Has Lost Her Sheep." The former encourages children to engage in carefree outdoor activities, while the latter is a classic nursery rhyme about a lost sheep and its shepherdess. The Pantomime Quadrille was an essential part of the social fabric during the Victorian era, providing an enjoyable experience for people of all ages. The lively music, engaging performances, and communal atmosphere made these events a cherished tradition in London's cultural landscape. This music cover serves as a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the delightful world of early Victorian entertainment.
