Biographical/historical: According to George Chaffee (see reference above), this is a "[v]ersion of a French music-title study by Janet Lange-- of [Carlotta] Grisi-[Lucien] Petipa or [Fanny] Cerrito-[Arthur] St. Leon, we forget which." Janet-Lange, 1815-1872, was a French illustrator whose works included depictions of dance and theatre productions.
Biographical/historical: The mazurka, which became popular as a ballroom dance in mid-nineteenth century Europe, had its roots in the Polish folk dance called the mazurek. Originally a lively dance in triple meter, the mazurka became popular in many countries and across many years, both as a dance and a musical form. This print may depict a version of the mazurka danced on the ballet stage. A notable example occurred in Joseph Mazilier's ballet Le diable à quatre (1845), whose main character, performed by Carlotta Grisi, was called Mazourka.
