The rider was dressed in the clothing of a Mexican vaquero: rawhide leggings, a buckskin jacket, and a tattered shawl about his shoulders. But above the shoulders, where the heads should have been, there was nothing. Instead, what appeared to be ahead wearing a wide sombrero was tied to the horn of the saddle, from where it stared blankly out across the plains. This grisly apparition and its mount could appear at any time of day, racing across the open range. It was always alone; the other mustangs shunned it.

Us Brits it seems are in for a treat as the BBC are planning to start filming next month on a lavish new costume drama – but not the usual Austen, Bronte, Elliot or Dickens fiction which we’ve all come to enjoy on dark winter evenings, but a true story based on the diaries of Anne Lister of Halifax, Yorkshire.

In fact this was the extraordinary price – worth 2,500 florins (about $1,000) at the time – that one man paid for a single tulip bulb in Holland in the 1630’s.

The genre of Burlesque started in the 1840’s. The shows were not just dancing girls who preformed a striptease but shows, shown to an audience of middle class. Early theatrical Burlesque in the 19th century was a form of musical and theatrical comedy that deliberately copied another’s work of music in a comic way, they were often risqué in their performance. Such dramatic productions were very popular in Britain and the females were often cast in the lead male part and dished out double entendre to the audience. Much like our pantomimes and sketch shows of today.
