Pemberton Individual Broadsides (Edward Pemberton, London c.1720s umbrella)

Publisher: Edward Pemberton (fl. 1708-1730), English dancing-master and Beauchamp-Feuillet character-notation specialist; engraved individual ball-dance broadsides published in London during the late-1710s through 1729. Source files: DATA/LIBRARY_OF_DANCE/ABBYY TXT/1720c-Pemberton-Cybelline_(UR).txt (2 lines OCR; plate not extractable) and 1729c-Pemberton-Caverley_(UR).txt (6 lines OCR; plate not extractable). University of Rochester Sibley Library scans. Bundle covers two broadsides: (1) **1720c Cybelline** — a 'Cibell' or Cybele-themed couple dance, Beauchamp-Feuillet engraved plate; the 'Cibell' as a London-stage genre derives from Henry Purcell's c.1690 instrumental 'Old Cibell' (already canonical H-REG-ECD-F1463) and from John Eccles's stage-music ground-bass 'Cibells', which became codified as a courtly couple-dance form in the early-18c London Beauchamp-Feuillet broadside tradition. (2) **1729c Mr. Caverley's [new] Dance** — Beauchamp-Feuillet engraved plate honouring Thomas Caverley's 60+y dancing-master career; distinct from the already-canonical 'Mr. Caverley's Figure Dance' of 1711 (H-BAR-CD-F0040, LOC-1711-PEMBERTON), this 1729c piece is a single-couple ball-dance dedicated to Caverley as patron / honoree (Caverley was Pemberton's dedicatory patron in the 1711 Essay, alongside the Duchess of Buckingham). Pattern parallels existing LOC-1709-ISAAC umbrella + LOC-1710-ISAAC-BROADSIDES + LOC-1713-ISAAC-BROADSIDES disaggregation cohort, and the same-run LOC-1717-ABBE-BROADSIDES bundle. Pemberton (Edward Pemberton, fl. 1708-1730) is the THIRD major English-language Beauchamp-Feuillet broadside author after Mr. Isaac and Anthony L'Abbé — fills the c.1716-1729 Pemberton individual-broadside gap (the 1711 LOC-1711-PEMBERTON Essay was a multi-composer collection, not an individual broadside).Year: 1720Family: pemberton-broadsidesCatalog: local
