The New Burlesque, an Undress Rehearsal
EDITORS COMMENTS
captures the vibrant energy and playful spirit of the 19th-century burlesque scene. This engraving, created by an English School artist, offers a fascinating glimpse into a world of performing arts and extravagant costumes. Set in a private collection, this print showcases a behind-the-scenes moment before the curtains rise. The performers are engaged in their undress rehearsal, meticulously preparing for their dazzling spectacle. Their elaborate outfits hang on racks nearby, adorned with feathers, sequins, and frills that promise to mesmerize audiences. The image exudes both sensuality and artistry as it celebrates the allure of burlesque. It transports us back to a time when these performances challenged societal norms while embracing humor and satire. Through exaggerated movements and theatrical gestures, these talented artists pushed boundaries with wit and charm. This engraving originally appeared in The Graphic's Christmas Number in 1871—a testament to its enduring appeal throughout history. Preserved within Look and Learn / Illustrated Papers Collection today, it continues to captivate viewers with its timeless beauty. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork from Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we are reminded of the power of artistic expression to transcend time. It invites us to appreciate the rich heritage of burlesque as an integral part of performing arts—an enchanting blend of glamourous costumes and uninhibited creativity that has left an indelible mark on our cultural landscape.
