This print shows a grand stage packed with dancers in mid-performance. The scene is lively, with a crowd of performers and a central pair caught in a graceful leap. It was made in 1850 by The Illustrated London News to illustrate a new ballet called Les Metamorphoses. If you like this kind of scene, look up the Victoria and Albert Museum.
