EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "The Dancing Academy" we are transported back to 19th century England, where the art of dance was cherished and celebrated. The illustration by Harry Furniss for Charles Dickens' Sketches by Boz captures a moment of anticipation and excitement as Mr. Cooper is introduced to Miss Billsmethi, a young lady who hopes to share many joyful dances with him. The image exudes an air of elegance and refinement, reflecting the social customs and traditions of the Victorian era. The characters depicted in the drawing are beautifully detailed, showcasing Furniss' skill as an illustrator. Their attire reflects the fashion trends of the time, adding authenticity to the scene. As we gaze upon this snapshot from history, we can almost hear the music playing in the background - a lively quadrille or perhaps a graceful minuet. It reminds us that dance has always been a universal language that brings people together across cultures and generations. This print serves as a visual testament to both Dickens' literary genius and Furniss' artistic talent. It transports us into their world, allowing us to witness firsthand the charm and allure of 19th century English society through their eyes.
