Music cover, spinning wheel scene from Martha
Music cover for the comic opera entitled Martha, or the Market at Richmond by Friedrich von Flotow (1812-1883), set in the early 18th century. It was first performed in Vienna in 1847, and later at the Theatre Royal, Drury Lane, in 1849. Lady Harriet and her maid, tired of high society, disguise themselves as Martha and Julia. They are seen here sitting at their spinning wheels, which they are incapable of operating, and the two men with them are their unsuccessful suitors. The scene is set to music as a quartet
