| Kingsbury, W. H. | A cotilion [!] [By] W. H. Kingsbury | 1788 | E | L | #108 London, S. W. Fores, 1788. A continuous strip mounted on linen (26 1/2 x 208 cm) folded, accordion fashion, to form 10 leaves. This is a charming example of late-eighteenth-century caricature. Although the specific personalities and dances cannot be pinpointed, this collection of ten couples, dressed in ball dress and displaying exaggerated dance poses, is an excellent sample of an art form that flourished in England during the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. 28 x 23 cm.;LOC: GV1757.K5 | |
