About This Item
Chez Philipeaux. Cloth Spine, "Opaline" Boards. Good Plus. N.d., circa 1840s. Measuring 5 by 3.5 cm. Nine leaves, most of which are blanks. Six pages on three card leaves, with illustrations of the dances, the Sicilienne, the Rodowa, and the Schotich, and the other pages with blank numbered lines to be filled in with prospective dance partners, and captions for the Mazurks, the Contredanse and the Galop. Quite a beautiful survival. The boards are of an opaline, or shell-like material which glistens. Wear to the silk endpapers and the cloth spine.
