| Description |
English: An opera-dancer, Mme Rose Didelot, is poised on her right toe, her head turned in (sharp-featured) profile to the left, holding up a long garland of roses. She wears a pseudo-classical costume, defining her person, the edge of the skirt bordered with roses, a wreath of roses in her hair which is almost short. The scenery is of trees with a landscape background. 12 April 1796

| Notes |
(Description and comment from M.Dorothy George, 'Catalogue of Political and Personal Satires in the British Museum', VII, 1942) The dancing of Didelot and his wife at the Opera caused a sensation in the spring of 1796, the first performance being on 20 Feb. 'We never witnessed anything of the kind so admirable as the management by Mme Rose, of her arms and the parts of her body. Grace, ease, and dignity seem contending for pre-eminence.' 'True Briton', 22 Feb. 1796. See BMSat 8891, &c. The water-colour sketch for this by an amateur (with title) is in the Print Room. (201. c. 6/8.) Grego, 'Gillray', p. 211. Reprinted, 'G.W.G.', 1830. |

This image is in the public domain because it is a mere mechanical scan or photocopy of a public domain original, or – from the available evidence – is so similar to such a scan or photocopy that no copyright protection can be expected to arise. The original itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag.  | ||||
