Wm. B. De Garmo; Illustrated by Theodore Wurst

NY: Wm. A. Pond & Co., 1875.


Illustrated by: Theodore Wurst. Hard Cover. First Edition. Quite a charming book, with engraved illustrations throughout -- “The Position in Quadrille”, “Position for Round Dancing”, and the like. De Garmo (who taught dance at West Point) enjoyed several editions of his book. This first edition copy belonged to Prof. Henry F. Laube, who taught dance in the 1870’s to Richmond’s young ladies at Levy’s Hall at the corner of Main and 11th Streets. Very nice Richmond Association item. Bound in green cloth, and lacking the front free endpaper.

Very Good binding.
