EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures a mesmerizing scene from the play "Fanchette" at the Lyceum Theatre in London. The focus of the image is on the enchanting Shadow Dance, beautifully choreographed by talented dancers. Created by David Henry Friston, this print showcases his exceptional skill in capturing movement and emotion through his art. The Shadow Dance is a spectacle to behold, with graceful figures gliding across the stage, their silhouettes projected onto a backdrop. The contrast between light and darkness adds an ethereal quality to the performance, enhancing its allure. As viewers gaze upon this print, they can almost hear the soft music accompanying these elegant movements. "Fanchette" was undoubtedly a sensation during its time at the Lyceum Theatre. This illustration originally appeared in The Illustrated London News on October 7th, 1871, allowing audiences who were unable to witness it firsthand to experience a glimpse of its magic. Today, this exquisite engraving serves as a window into history for those who appreciate both performing arts and visual storytelling. It reminds us of the power of live performances to transport us into different worlds and evoke emotions that transcend time. Bridgeman Images has preserved this remarkable piece of art from their Fine Art Finder collection so that future generations can continue to marvel at its beauty and be inspired by its timeless elegance.
