EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph from 1820, titled "Dancing: Sir Roger de Coverley" transports us back to a bygone era of elegance and grace. Created by the talented artist Percy Macquoid, this print captures the essence of a traditional dance known as Sir Roger de Coverley. Intriguingly, this lithograph was originally intended as an illustration for the book "Dancing" by Mrs. Lilly Grove, with Macquoid's artistry bringing her words to life. The book itself was published in 1895 by Longmans, Green, making it a valuable historical artifact in its own right. The scene depicted in this lithograph showcases dancers engaged in the lively choreography of Sir Roger de Coverley. This popular social dance originated in England during the 17th century and remained beloved throughout history due to its energetic movements and intricate patterns. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported into a world where society's elite would gather at grand balls and engage in these enchanting dances. It serves as a reminder of how dancing has always been an integral part of human culture – not only for entertainment but also as a means of socializing and connecting with others. Thanks to Bridgeman Images' preservation efforts, we can still appreciate this stunning piece today. Its historical significance is undeniable; it offers us a glimpse into both the pastime enjoyed by generations before us and the artistic talent that brought it to life through lithography.
