- Abstract
-
"One of a set (coloured) by Williams, all with the same imprint (Nos. 12933-6). An adaptation of No. 12926. Two sets of four dance as before but the ladies and their partners stand alternately, instead of two ladies being together in the middle of each row. A lady playing a harp sits on the settee, a man stands beside her. A man facing the fireplace ties his cravat; another reaches up with a cane, perhaps to adjust the gas which issues from two serpents decorating the top of the mirror, on which stand also two lamps with globes and chimneys. In place of the chinoiserie chandeliers against the wall are two pictures, one of a couple turning together (as in No. 12925) against an architectural background, one of three naked savages posturing outside their tents. There is a hanging chandelier with gas or oil lamps with globes and chimneys."--British Museum online catalogue
