This print shows a crowded party in a fancy old house. Men and women in big wigs dance under chandeliers. Musicians play in the corner. The image came from a 1738 music book. It’s an engraving, so lines were cut into metal then inked. You can still see the original book’s title on the print. Try the Victoria and Albert Museum’s online collection to see more of these old prints.
