- Description
- 10 prints : lithograph, etching, engraving, aquatint, wood engraving, b&w or color; 32 x 35 cm. or smaller.
- Summary
- Collection culled from a variety of sources. Some items have been trimmed of their captions and/or publication data, making identification difficult; some may be photomechanical reproductions. Most date from and depict events that took place in the nineteenth-century, although the sixteenth and eighteenth centuries are represented in reproductive prints respectively after François Clouet and Augustin de Saint-Aubin. The prints in this collection depict assemblies of men and women, not all of whom may be dancing, in ballrooms or other large chambers. Most of the images portray upper-class or at least affluent society.
