EDITORS COMMENTS
This music cover for The Bohemian Polka, composed by Herrman Koenig in the mid-19th century, showcases a lively and spirited Bohemian couple in traditional attire, engaged in the popular dance of the era. The cover, dedicated to Viscount Bury (later the 7th Earl of Albemarle), is a vibrant and historical representation of the time. The Bohemian man, dressed in a blue shirt, bare-chested, and wearing a red sash, dons a wide-brimmed hat adorned with a plait and a hatchet. His partner, dressed in a blue and white national costume, wears her long plaits hanging loose and a red dress with a white apron. Both dancers are depicted with their feet off the ground, fully immersed in the dance. The cover, featuring the title "The Bohemian Polka" and the composer's name "Herrmann Koenig," is a visual ode to the 1850s and the Victorian era. The couple's traditional Bohemian costumes, complete with axe and brimmed hat for the man and a simple yet elegant dress and apron for the woman, add to the authenticity of the scene. The cover's design is a testament to the rich history of music and dance, and the dedication to Viscount Bury further adds to its significance. The Bohemian Polka was a popular dance in Europe during the 19th century, and this cover beautifully encapsulates the spirit and energy of the dance. Overall, this music cover for The Bohemian Polka is a stunning and captivating piece of historical art that showcases the beauty and vibrancy of the 19th century and the enduring appeal of traditional dance.
