H Beard Print Collection is a 14 by George Murgatroyd Woodward, a Romanticism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This print by George Murgatroyd Woodward shows three dancers onstage in 1796. It’s titled “Operatical reform: or la dance a l’Eveque” and is a satire of Madame Rose Didelot. It pokes fun at the dance world using sharp lines and exaggerated poses. The print was made as a colour etching, a common way to mock high society back then.

A colored print titled *Operatical Reform; or La Dance à l'Évêque* depicts three female dancers onstage, including a caricature of Madame Rose Didelot alongside two other performers, and is mounted on a card backing.
