text: Purchased with funds from the Committee for the Jerome Robbins Dance Division.

text: Purchase; Golden Legend.

type: biographical/historical

text: The muses were viewed by the ancient Greeks as the source and inspiration of knowledge, particularly in the areas of literature and the arts. Their history is complicated and even their numbers vary from three to nine. Hesiod's Theogony, written ca. 700 B.C., states that they were the daughters of Zeus, the ruler of the Olympian gods, and Mnemosyne (Memory). The god Apollo is sometimes said to be their leader, hence his title Apollo Musagetes (Apollo, leader of the muses). In George Balanchine's ballet Apollo (originally titled Apollon musagète; 1928), Terpsichore and her sister muses Calliope (lyric poetry) and Polyhymnia (mime) demonstrate their particular arts before the god, but only Terpsichore pleases him with the perfection of her dancing.

text: Antonio Zucchi, born in Venice, belonged to a family of artists. His paintings included altarpieces and frescoes, and he worked for a time in London, where he married artist Angelica Kauffman, whose predilection for neoclassical scenes may have influenced this drawing. He was elected to the Royal Academy in 1784.

title: Terpsichore: the muse of dancing

subTitle: the muse of dancing

text: The French caricaturist, lithographer, and publisher Charles Philipon created many political satires, and is perhaps best-known for his depiction of king Louis Philippe as a pear. The exaggerated facial features of the woman in the foreground of this print suggests a satirical intent. The Royal Academy of Music in London, however, holds a slightly different version, in which the same woman has a prettier face without lines or shadows; her lips are closed, and she wears a different headdress. The British Museum, which holds a different print in this series, No. 1018, dates it to ca. 1820.

text: The variety of images in this collection demonstrates the enormous popularity of the polka, both as a dance and a musical form. Although opinions about its origins differ, it is believed to have roots in Poland or Bohemia. It was brought to Prague in 1837 and made its way to Vienna, St. Petersburg, Paris, and London. Capitalizing on its growing popularity as a ballroom dance, Jules Perrot and Carlotta Grisi introduced it to the ballet stage in 1844. In the mid 1800s, it rivalled the waltz as a dance craze. It has survived into the twenty-first century, and until 2009 was included as a category in the Grammy Awards.

title: The polka on 19th-century music covers

abstracts: Illustrations from the covers of sheet music intended for performance in the home. Although these music scores (not included in this collection) are all compositions based on the musical form called the polka, the illustrations range from dancers in folk costume to ballroom dancers in formal evening attire, to theatrical performers in costumes of different styles. Two examples do not depict dancing at all: the Rachel polka honors the French actress Rachel, who is portrayed in costume striking a theatrical attitude. The illustration for The mermaid polka depicts the mermaids in their watery habitat, apparently with no thought of dancing.

title: Die Lust sich zuverkleiden

abstracts: Two vignettes on one sheet. At top within a circular frame, a woman and man, both holding masks, cast fond glances at each another. Various figures surround them outside the frame; among them are a man in a peaked hat, partly concealed by shadows; a masked dwarf; a man with an agitated child; and a masked woman in peasant dress, who reaches towards a bottle. The image below depicts a woman and man who seem to be wearing fancy dress; her skirt, adorned with stars and an owl with outspread wings, reaches only to her calves, and the man's knee-breeches are decorated with the astrological symbols for Cancer and Capricorn. The woman wears what appears to be a crescent moon atop her head; the man wears a rayed sun. Neither, however, is masked. The man's right leg is raised in a dancing or running position.

The original image may have been the work of Robert Cruikshank; he and his brother George Cruikshank produced several cartoons satirizing the quadrille, a ballroom dance popular in the nineteenth century. The signature I.R. Cruikshank, used by Robert Cruikshank, appears on Quadrilles-- practising for fear of accidents, a print stylistically similar to this one.

title: Quadrilles-- practising at home

abstracts: Representation of the quadrille, a dance for four couples, as performed in a private home. The dancers are accompanied by a fiddler, who leans against a wall in the background. He is speaking the words "La poule" (contained in a word balloon), directing the dancers to execute the third of the five parts or figures that usually composed the quadrille.

text: This is a variant of an iconic image of the Romantic ballet, depicting three leading ballerinas of the period in their famous roles. Two of the three are indisputable: Marie Taglioni in the title role of Filippo Taglioni's La sylphide (first performed in 1832), and Fanny Elssler in the role of Florinda, dancing the cachucha in Jean Coralli's Le diable boiteux (first performed in 1836). The third dancer, though labeled as Fanny Cerrito, has been identified instead as Carlotta Grisi in the role of Beatrix, dancing the pas de Diane chasseresse in Albert's La jolie fille de Gand (first performed in 1842). The original image, variously called Les trois Graces and Les Graces, is now believed to be the work of a French artist named Lejeune, whose identity remains uncertain. It was first published as a lithograph in Paris in 1844, and gave rise to copies by other printmakers, among them the Americans James Baillie, Nathaniel Currier, and Napoleon Sarony. In the original image, Taglioni was placed at the left of the print, with Elssler in the center and Grisi at the right, underscoring their significance as the past, present, and future of the contemporary ballet scene. Sarony's version reverses this sequence so that Grisi is at left and Taglioni at right. Other changes were made in the variants, among them the addition of ballet slippers to the dancers' bare feet, and the covering of Grisi's bosom with a bodice.
