Description
Wood engraving, line border; 22.5 x 30 cm.
Note
  • A cutting from the Illustrated London News.
  • A wooden theater, a stage with stalls on each side for musicians. A capacity audience watches eight performers. The dancers, wearing kimonos and holding fans, are balanced on their left foot, their knee bent.
  • The published commentary on the reverse states that "the female musicians on each side were singing and playing the story which the ballet-girls were acting."
