This print shows Marie Taglioni in her famous role as the Sylph from the ballet *La Sylphide*. It’s a hand-colored lithograph made in 1845. Taglioni’s father created the ballet in 1832 to highlight her incredible skill, especially dancing on pointe. Back then, this move stunned audiences because it looked almost magical.
