This print shows Adelina Plunkett as a Spanish dancer in a 19th-century ballet costume. The outfit mixes the usual low-neck ballet dress with a tiny bolero jacket and styled hair to hint at Spain. It may capture her in her famous solo dance, La Manola. Spanish dance became a big hit in theaters after Fanny Elssler’s cachucha. Look up the Victoria and Albert Museum next.
