EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph, titled 'Children Dancing in Front of a Dance Master' by Jean-Henri Marlet, depicts a lively and engaging dance lesson taking place in the early 19th century. The scene is set in the establishment 'Le Bon Genie,' and the master, dressed in a top hat and holding a violin and bow, instructs a group of children as they dance in a circle. The children, dressed in various outfits, including long coats and hats, seem fully immersed in the lesson, their faces filled with joy and concentration. The dance master, Jean-Henri Marlet, is a renowned figure in the world of dance, known for his expertise and skill in teaching the art form to young students. The presence of the violin and bow suggests that music plays an essential role in the dance instruction, adding rhythm and melody to the lively scene. This illustration is taken from Henry Rene Allemagne's 'Sports and Games of Skill' (Sports et Jeux d'Adresse), published by Librairie Hachette in Paris in 1903. The lithograph captures the essence of dance as a communal and joyful activity, passed down from master to student, and serves as a fascinating glimpse into the past. The intricate details, from the children's expressions to the textures of their clothing, make this a stunning and timeless work of art.
