Physical Description
Engravings
Extent: 4 prints : engraving, wood engraving, mezzotint, lithograph?, b&w or color ; 26 x 26 cm. or smaller.
Description
Collection culled from various sources, chiefly dating from the nineteenth century. Three prints depict children in the act of dancing. The fourth, titled "Juvenile fancy dress party," includes a little girl dressed as a sylphide, a supernatural creature popularized by Filippo Taglioni's ballet La sylphide (1832) and its imitators, in a white dress, wings, and wreath of flowers. "The parlor sylph" probably also owes its title to the balletic sylphide.
