Product Description
8 celebrated dancers — Marie Taglioni, Carlotta Grisi, Fanny Elssler, Fanny Cerrito, Lucile Grahn, Lola Montez, Jules Joseph Perrot and Augusta Maywood — from an era known for innovations in dance movement and costume. Dancers depicted as gorgeously costumed paper dolls, each with 3 additional costumes from their most famous roles.

Reader Reviews
This is one of Tom Tierney's prettiest and most feminine books. The plates are worthy of being framed, and I'm sure that most aspiring ballet dancers would love to have them on the wall in their rooms. Until I bought this book, I'd only heard of Lola Montez, but more for her exploits than her dancing. Reading the notes accompanying the dolls was a fascinating introduction to the ballet world of the nineteenth century.
