#MiniatureMonday
A guide to the ball room : being a complete compendium of the etiquette of dancing : with the figures of all the quadrilles, gallopades, mazourkas, polonaises, etc., etc., beautifully embellished / by a man of fashion.
A guide to the ball room is a stunning little book dated all the way back to 1884. Detailing many etiquette and dancing rules, along with instructions, this book is a perfect guide to learning the ins and outs of the ball room.
The back of the book also features a glossary of French terms often used in the ball room. So grab a partner, read this book, and get to dancing--just like those from the 1800s!

Humane Society horses, 1907: “On account of the immense demand for heavy teaming, the officers of the Humane Societies are kept busy arresting inhumane drivers and giving relief to horses whose collars have chafed through the skin, and those improperly fed. The colt on the left can hardly stand, but was staggering under a big load. The skin is also worn off its neck by the collar." @humanesociety
