About this work

This print by Brandard is a song sheet cover for a lively dance tune called the Quadrille of La Traviata. It dates from the late 1850s and mixes two art movements: Impressionism and Realism. Chappell & Co. published it, so it wasn’t just art—it was sheet music for ballrooms. Look up the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more prints like this.
