In the 19th Century, the term "burlesque" was applied to a wide range of comic plays, including non-musicals. These shows entertained the lower and middle classes in Great Britain and the United States by making fun of (or "burlesquing") the operas, plays and social habits of the upper classes. These shows used comedy and music and dance to challenge the established way of looking at things. We have captured this style with our unique interpretation. These Photo Art pieces are limited to 195 hand printed, embossed and signed by the artist.
