8666185 Tanzstunde / Dancing Lesson (colour litho) by Christophe (Colomb, Georges) (1856-1945); Private Collection; (add.info.: Tanzstunde. Wahrend heute das Kind durch Turnen, Gymnastik und Wandern zu einer geraden und klaren Lebensart erzogen wird, musste es im 18 Jahrh noch durch zierlichen Tanz darin geubt werden, die galanten und geschliffenen Umgangsformen zu beherrschen. In vornehmen Hausern brachte der franzosische Tanzmeister den Kleinen zugleich mit dem Tanz die Regeln von Anmut und Anstand bei. Translation: Dancing Lesson. While today the child is brought up to a straight and clear way of life through gymnastics and hiking, in the 18th century it still had to be practiced through graceful dancing to master the gallant and polished manners. In noble houses, the French dance master taught the little ones the rules of grace and decency at the same time as they danced.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning colour lithograph titled "Tanzstunde / Dancing Lesson" by Christophe (Colomb, Georges) captures a moment in time when children were taught the art of dance as a means to cultivate grace and manners. In the 18th century, dancing was not just a form of entertainment but an essential part of education for young ones from noble families.
The image depicts a French dance master instructing children in elegant movements, teaching them not only how to move with precision and poise but also instilling in them the values of grace and decency. The intricate details in the lithograph bring to life this historical scene, showcasing the elaborate costumes and refined gestures characteristic of that era.
As we look at this print, we are transported back to a time when social etiquette was as important as academic learning, where dance was seen as a way to refine one's character and conduct. It serves as a reminder of how different generations have approached education and upbringing, highlighting the evolution of societal norms over time.
This artwork is not just a visual delight but also a window into the past, offering us insights into cultural practices that have shaped our understanding of refinement and sophistication.
