EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and captivating print showcases the renowned ballet dancer, Pauline Duvernay, in all her grace and beauty. Captured in 1837 by Thomas McLean, this colour lithograph brings to life the enchanting performance of Duvernay on stage. Duvernay, born in 1813 and passing away at the age of 81 in 1894, was a celebrated ballerina known for her exceptional talent and mesmerizing presence. In this particular image, she is depicted wearing a stunning Spanish costume adorned with intricate details that perfectly complement her elegant movements. The artist behind this remarkable piece is John Frederick Lewis (1805-76), who skillfully recreated Duvernay's likeness through his artistic vision. The City of Westminster Archive Centre proudly houses this historical gem within its collection. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported back to a time when dance was not just an art form but also a means of storytelling. Duvernay's mastery shines through as she delicately holds castanets - traditional Spanish musical instruments - adding an extra layer of authenticity to her performance. This photograph serves as a testament to the enduring legacy of Pauline Duvernay and her contribution to the world of ballet. It reminds us that even after centuries have passed since its creation, art has the power to transcend time and continue inspiring generations to come.
