H Beard Print Collection is a 10 by Smyth, a Romanticism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This print shows three dancers frozen in a sweeping pose at Her Majesty’s Theatre. It’s a quiet slice of stage life from 1847, captured in ink and paper. One dancer’s dress has a little flower spray, another plain silk, and the third tiny wings on her back—tiny details that make the scene feel real. Look up the Victoria and Albert Museum.
The illustration titled "The Pas des Elemens" depicts three dancers at Her Majesty's Theatre arranged diagonally, each performing the same arabesque pose. They wear matching full-skirted dresses with fitted bodices and low square necklines positioned just off the shoulder. The dancer in front, identified as Rosati, has a floral spray at the center of her dress, the central figure, Grisi, wears a plain dress, and the figure at the back, Cerito, is shown with small wings attached to her back.
