Graces!'_ From erasures in the date of this plate it seems probable
that it was originally issued ten years earlier. As the title
indicates, this sketch is a broad burlesque of the deportment displayed
by the frequenters of a suburban ball-room. The awkward and ungainly
carriage of all the figures is amusingly exaggerated. A master of
the ceremonies, the expression of whose features is complicated by
a decided squint, is briskly performing the rites of his office and
introducing a cobby little gentleman as a partner to an angular and
misshapen spinster, who, in consulting _the graces_, has thrown her
Gothic frame into an absurdly constrained and affected posture.
