EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-coloured engraving captures a hilarious scene of natural accidents during a quadrille dancing practice. Set in an elegant interior, the image showcases both female and male dancers engaged in their formal dance routine. However, it seems that clumsiness has taken over as collisions and falls become the order of the day. The comical nature of this cartoon-like print is evident as chandeliers hang precariously overhead while dancers collide with one another. The artist skillfully portrays the chaos and humor through exaggerated movements and facial expressions, adding to the overall charm of the scene. While these mishaps may be seen as embarrassing for those involved, they bring joy to anyone observing this artwork. It serves as a reminder that even in structured practices like dancing, accidents can happen naturally, leading to unexpected moments of laughter. This 19th-century engraving from English School offers a glimpse into historical social gatherings where quadrille dancing was popular entertainment. With its vibrant colors and lively depiction of human folly, it continues to captivate viewers today. As part of The Stapleton Collection held privately, this print allows us to appreciate not only the artistic talent behind it but also provides insight into past customs and amusements. Whether you are a fan of dance or simply enjoy humorous scenes captured on paper, this delightful artwork is sure to bring smiles for generations to come.
