Notes
Title devised by cataloger.
Publication data has been partly trimmed off; however, the lithography firms are identified as Litografia Ricordi on three prints, and Litografia di Gio[vanni] Ricordi, Milano, on the fourth.
The prints Un bardo Cherusco and Vecchi are signed Gallina dis., identifying the draftsman probably as Gallo Gallina.
Acquisition: Gift; Lillian Moore.
Biographical/historical: Arminio (choreography, Luigi Henry; music, Paolo Brambilla; scenery, Alessandro Sanquirico; costumes Rosa Cervi) was first presented at La Scala, Milan, in 1828. It was inspired by an actual historical event, the battle of Teutoberg Forest in Germania in 9 A.D., in which the Roman general Publius Quinctilius Varus was betrayed by a Germanic prince of the Cherusci, Arminius (the Arminio of the title). The ballet, however, complicated the plot by making Varo fall in love with Arminio's sister Thusnelda.
