Melle. Fitz-James, de l'Académie royale de musique, rôle d'une asperge dans un ballet de légumes. Produced by Caboche Grégoire. Print. French, 1837.

Although we’re in the middle of a tropical storm watch, we still hope you’ve been able to enjoy some time outdoors, immersed in natureperhaps even doing some dancing! Images of non-human dancers from the natural world abound in our digitized prints, from the horse ballets beginning in the late sixteenth century to caricatures, both satiric and sweet, of humanoid animals and plants. We hope the images selected for our latest coloring book will bring a smile to your face and a spring in your step as you color them.
