Visual Description

This 33 rpm vinyl record features an illustrated cover in a retro style, highlighting a typical Belle Époque ball scene, with elegantly dressed couples dancing on a floor. The cover displays pastel tones, mainly light green, cream, and touches of red, with a central illustration in nuanced colors. The title "Les Grandes Valses de la Belle Époque" is inscribed at the top in thick black letters, followed by "par Rapha Brogiotti et son orchestre".

On the vertical edge of the sleeve, a repetitive pattern of stylized dancers in blue-green frames the illustration, reinforcing the decorative and evocative character of the Belle Époque period. At the bottom of the cover, several track titles are listed: "Frou-Frou", "Fascination", "Griserie", "Amoureuse", "La Valse des Bas Noirs", and "Quand l’Amour Meurt".

The "Concert Hall" logo appears in the bottom center, accompanied by the reference SFS 1410, indicating the record label. The overall visual of the cover evokes a refined musical universe, typical of popular waltzes from the early 20th century, with an aesthetic faithful to the retro spirit and elegance of the Belle Époque.

The visible side shows no major apparent flaws, although slight signs of wear or handling may be present, characteristic of an old record. The colors of the cover remain vibrant and the inscription is perfectly legible.

This vinyl, in 33 rpm format, is dedicated to the great waltzes of the Belle Époque, a period marked by artistic and social effervescence, and stands out for its meticulous graphic presentation and its emblematic musical theme.
