Dancers colliding during a waltz at a posh ball in Paris, 19th century. John Jorrocks and Countess Benvolio knock another couple to the floor. Dandies and ladies in crinolines dancing in an aristocrat’s residence. Mr. Jorrocks makes a faux pas. Handcoloured steel engraving after an illustration by Henry Thomas Alken from Robert Smith Surtees’ Jorrocks' Jaunts and Jollities, Rudolph Ackermann, London, 1843.
