- Bodice and Union Jack over-tunic designed by Wilhelm for the Union Jack worn by Adeline Genée in <i>Round the Town Again</i>, Empire Theatre, London, 1899
White silk satin bodice lined with cotton and previously covered with a fine organza of which little remains. The bodice has organza puff sleeves organza bodice and a pointed waist at front and back. The bodice is boned with five bones at the front, three each side and a further bone covered in fine leather at each side of the back opening to support the lacing hooks. There are 12 'pairs of hooks with two further wide hooks for eyes at the waist.
Attached to the bodice is a silk Union Jack Flag fastened to the front and back. It is caught in at the waist with a gold cord which loops and trails on the left side ending with two tassels. The top of the flag is turned to make a collar each corner being finished with a metallic acorn. The lower, 'skirt' area of the flag which would have been worn over a tutu skirt is finished at the front with acorns at both corners and at the back corners with gold tassels. The flag opens at the back and the skirt is fastened with two metallic press studs. Inside the bodice is a white belt at the waist with hook and eye and sweat protector pads at the arm-pits. (en)
- Costume designed by Wilhelm for Adeline Genée in Katti Lanner's ballet Round the Town Again,at the Empire Theatre, London, 1899. Bodice with Union Jack overtunic.. (en)
- This incomplete costume designed by Wilhelm is a rare survivor from the Empire Theatre, London. It consists of a white bodice over which a silk Union Jack flag is draped which would have covered part of the tutu skirt as well as the bodice to which it is attached. It was worn by Adeline Genée in 'Round the Town Again'.
'Round the Town Again' (1899) was a good example of an 'up-to-date' that is contemporary ballet created at the Empire Theatre, London with choreography by Katti Lanner, music composed by Leopold Wenzel, scenery painted by Hawes Craven & Joseph Harker, and the costumes designed by Wilhelm. Round the Town Again followed the pattern of the earlier Round the Town in which characters are seen in five parts of London. It ran for over a year and Genée wore five costumes for her roles and as the critic of Black and White (13 May 1899 p.579) said it had to be seen for Genée's 'joy in dancing'. It was at the end of the final scene, a masked ball set at the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden, that Genée appeared as the Union Jack surrounded by sixteen ladies of the corps de ballet representing members of the British armed forces. The costume can be seen with the flag covering the tutu in a composite sketch by Oliver Paque at the time of the ballets premiere.
Photographs of Genée show her in a different Union Jack costume in which her bodice is covered in coloured sequins making up a Union Jack although other elements of the costume remain the same. Genée's costumes were probably made by Miss Fisher. The ballet with its patriotic elements was performed against the background of the British re conquest of the Sudan and the start of the Boer War. At the end of the run Genée's roles were taken over by Edvige Gantenberg. (en)
