About this work

This print shows two dancers in old Polish dress holding sheet music titled *The Redowa and Polish Polkas*. It likely came from a 19th-century music magazine called *The Musical Bouquet*. The scene pairs a woman in a fur cape and boots with a man in breeches and a short cape. Both wear tall, square hats tied on the slant—maybe Krakowiak or Rogatywka hats. If you like prints with music and motion, check out a sheet music collection at the Victoria and Albert Museum.
