EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the vibrant world of 19th-century British burlesque. The image captures a scene from "The Guards Burlesque 'Fra Diavolo' at the Chelsea Barracks" featuring the talented Miss Rose Hawdon as "Zerlina". In this particular moment, she is enchanting the audience with her mesmerizing performance of the "Shadow Dance". The photograph showcases not only Miss Hawdon's grace and skill but also provides a glimpse into the lively atmosphere of a Victorian playhouse. Surrounding her are onlookers, both men and women, who eagerly watch her every move. Their expressions range from awe to amusement, reflecting their enjoyment of this unique form of entertainment. The theatrical costume worn by Miss Hawdon adds an extra layer of allure to the scene. It speaks volumes about the attention to detail that went into these productions, even in burlesque performances. The intricate design and craftsmanship are evident in every stitch. Although we may never know who captured this remarkable moment or exactly when it took place, this print serves as a testament to an era where live performances were cherished forms of escapism for people seeking entertainment and diversion from their daily lives. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, we can't help but be transported back to that period—a time when laughter filled theaters like Chelsea Barracks and performers like Miss Rose Hawdon brought joy through their talent and artistry.
