Description: An 1817 engraving depicting two couples waltzing, and three girls practicing their country-dance steps (apparently). The dancing women are wearing skirts with a somewhat stiffened conical silhouette (produced by wearing several layers of petticoats) which seems to have been on the cutting-edge of the most recent high-fashions in 1817. The woman sitting down in the background is still wearing the more free-flowing and clinging skirts which were typical of the 1797-1817 period. Engraving from La Belle Assemblée, February 1, 1817.
