The Highly Colored Tie" by J. Mills and F. W. Venton: A Musical Sensation of 1893 This illustration, created by the skilled hand of H.G. Banks, showcases a gentleman proudly wearing a brightly colored tie that was the talk of the town in 1893. The song "The Highly Colored Tie," penned by J. Mills and F. W. Venton, and sung by the renowned Arthur Albert, had a profound impact on the world of music hall entertainment. The gentleman in the illustration wears a tie so vibrant and eye-catching that it elicits various reactions from those around him. Horses are frightened by its bold colors, causing them to rear and bolt. Rain pours down upon him, yet the tie remains unblemished, leading some to accuse him of bringing cholera into the theatre. Despite the controversy, the common consensus is that the tie was not purchased but rather handmade by his mother from a patchwork quilt. This promotional artwork, published in December 1893, was a testament to the power of music and the allure of the unusual. The song, "The Highly Colored Tie," became a sensation, bringing joy and amusement to audiences at music halls and theatres across the land. The image of the man with the striking tie serves as a reminder of the simple pleasures of musical entertainment during an era of leisure and enjoyment. This illustration is a fascinating glimpse into the past, showcasing the impact of music, art, and the human spirit on the world of entertainment. It stands as a testament to the enduring power of a catchy tune and a vividly colored tie.
