Cinderella
ARTIST : Dudley Hardy (English 1866-1922)

"?in the work of Dudley Hardy, whose gay dancing silhouettes, white on a scarlet ground, did much to enliven the streets and, in the instance of 'Gaiety Girl' (a musical comedy) series, struck a note more nearly approaching the French than any previous work in England"
Hardy is best known for his work for publications and the theatre (like this small poster for Cinderella), both as a illustrator and posterist. his contribution to poster art is considerable: 'He really introduced the colour poster to England?His posters are strongly derivative of Cheret's. Like Cheret he appreciated the advertising value of sex-appeal, and his recurring subjects are legs, tutu's, frou-frous and legs again. The range of expression and antic is between a frisky insouciance and a brassier glamour' ? note the hauteur of our princess and the subservience of her men-in-waiting. This piece was printed in 1896 in a variety of sizes.
