Vintage vinyl record 45 rpm Coppelia Delibes Fontana retro ballet

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This 45 rpm vinyl record is presented here with its original sleeve, illustrated with a scene of ballerinas in blue and white costumes, evoking the world of classical ballet. The visible side of the sleeve clearly mentions "DELIBES COPPELIA", indicating the work of the French composer Léo Delibes, and belongs to the "Série Ballets" collection published by the Fontana label. The reference "495.605 FE Medium" is also visible in the upper right corner.

The sleeve features an artistic reproduction of dancers in a rehearsal room, in pastel tones dominated by blue, white, and touches of pink. The visual highlights three classical ballerinas, two in the background and one in the foreground, all in voluminous tutus. The overall look exudes a retro style characteristic of classical music sleeve illustrations from the mid-20th century.

The overall condition of the sleeve shows some signs of wear: slightly bent corners, visible handling marks on the upper left edge, and a matte surface with small traces of age. These elements attest to a period object, carefully preserved but having lived a life.

The visible side shows no major tears or significant stains, and the text printing remains clear. The "Fontana" logo as well as the mention "Série Ballets" are perfectly legible, as are the title and the composer's name. No details of the record itself are visible in this image.

Condition

Used item, sold as is, with visible signs of wear on the sleeve (creases, age marks, crumpled corners). The record is not visible in the photo; the condition of the vinyl is not verified.

Did you know? The ballet "Coppélia" was composed by Léo Delibes in 1870 and remains one of the most frequently performed ballets in the classical repertoire. This record sleeve, published by Fontana, illustrates the trend of record companies to showcase pictorial works or dance scenes to promote classical music to the general public during the 1950s-1960s.
