This print shows a dancer in costume for the ballet *Marco Spada*. It was made around 1860, during a time when artists used prints to capture stage scenes. The ballet had a wild plot full of twists, like bandits, mistaken identities, and a cave that rose up on stage. It was written to showcase two leading ballerinas at the Paris Opera. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum if you want to see more prints like this one.
