The Favourite Comic Dance, by Messrs. Bologna Junior and Grimaldi, in the Popular Pantomime of Mother Goose
Not on view
Two figures dance on stage, arms and legs thrust into the air and hands touching at center. At left, Jack Bologna wears the dress of a St. Giles Fruit Girl over his Harlequin garb, with the latter's patterned hose peeking out below the skirt. At right, the famous clown Joseph Grimaldi wears his distinctive short-legged suit accentuated by a ridge of hair running along his head, and white face make-up with striking red cheek patches. The actors perform a dance that appeared in scene five of a hit pantomime at Covent Garden that opened in December 1806 and ran for ninety-two performances.
