THE DANCE - Historic Illustrations of Dancing from 3300 B.C. to 1911 A.D.

This book is a collection of fascinating images of people engaged in dance. It was originally authored by "An Antiquary" in 1911. This edition includes images, but not the text that accompanied the initial publication. The pictures provide a sampling of dancing figures from ancient times until the early 20th Century. Several cultures are represented. Many of the images are derived from woodcuts, while others are drawings. It's a pleasure to witness the exotic costumes and the unique manner in which people of different cultures enjoyed the art, beauty, and delight of dance. The images are rendered with clarity and sharp contrast considering they are digital copies of prints made in 1911.
