This print shows a room where people in the 1800s gathered for dances and meetings. It’s a print, not a painting, from a brother-and-sister printmaking team. The catch? Getting in could be tough. A committee of women decided who could join parties like Almack’s in London. Even the Duke of Wellington got turned away for being late and wearing the wrong pants. Look up the Victoria and Albert Museum next.
