Fashionable dancers performing La Trenis, a country dance section in the popular quadrille created by the French dance master Trenitz. "Poor celebrity! The mania for pirouettes made him deranged, and he later died in Charenton asylum, also home to the Marquis de Sade." Handcoloured engraving from Pierre de la Mesangere's Le Bon Genre, Paris, 1817.
