Hardcover. Condizione: As New. Fine blue cloth hardcover with silver stamped titles. Facsimile transcription of an 18th century manuscript work. 8vo. x, 102 pp. Illus.; color plates; biblio. From review: "Kellom Tomlinson is justly celebrated for his beautifully illustrated treatise, The Art of Dancing (1735). He also published six dances for the Ball Room between 1715 and 1720. While apprenticed to Thomas Caverley, Tomlinson began writing a Work Book in 1708 and added to it over a number of years. The manuscript contains copies of existing publications including five dances from a French collection, and a dance by Caverley. The most significant section of the manuscript contains six dances composed by Tomlinson and performed at Lincolns Inn Fields Theater between 1716 and 1721--there are two solos for a woman, two solos for a man, and two dances for a man and a woman."
