The cover of the score of the piano quadrille from *Carmen* by Édouard Strauss (1835-1916), illustrated by A. Lamy, represents a fascinating intersection of visual art and music during the late 19th century. This work is a quintessential example of how popular operatic themes were adapted into forms accessible for domestic music-making, reflecting the widespread influence of Georges Bizet's opera *Carmen* since its premiere in 1875. Édouard Strauss, a member of the illustrious Strauss musical dynasty in Vienna, was renowned for his contributions to dance music, particularly in the form of waltzes, polkas, and quadrilles. His adaptation of themes from *Carmen* into a piano quadrille demonstrates not only the adaptability of Bizet's melodies but also the cultural appetite for operatic music in formats suitable for social gatherings and personal entertainment.

The cover, designed by A. Lamy, is an artwork in its own right, encapsulating the exotic and dramatic essence of *Carmen*. It likely features imagery that evokes the opera's setting and characters, contributing to the allure and marketing of the musical score. Such covers were crucial in the 19th-century music publishing industry, serving both as advertising tools and as aesthetic objects that appealed to the sensibilities of the bourgeois consumer. The collaboration between Édouard Strauss and A. Lamy on this project highlights the interdisciplinary nature of the arts during this period, where music and visual art converged to enhance the cultural experience of the audience.

This piano quadrille from *Carmen*, with its visually striking cover by A. Lamy, not only provided a means for amateur musicians to engage with Bizet's operatic masterpiece but also serves as a historical document that offers insights into the popularization of opera themes and the role of visual art in music consumption during the late 19th century.
