From the Ball-Room to Hell

T.A. Faulkner

Henry Bros & Co. IL. 1894. A sixty-one page hardcover in the original binding. In excellent condition, with age -appropriate yellowing throughout, some foxing, and minor edge wear. Tight and intact binding. A corner is torn on page 17, otherwise unmarked and undamaged.

An anti-dance treaty by T.A.Faulkner whose credentials include "Proprietor of the Los Angeles Dance Company" and "Ex-President of the Dancing Master's Association of the West Coast.".

Moralistic, though entertaining, and fully illustrated with stories of the hazards of going too deep into the world of dance. Thrill at chapters such as "The Approval of Society is No Proof Against the Degradation." 

A fascinating document of a time gone by, yet still QUITE relevant in our censorious and embarrassingly puritanical culture. Buy this for the dance lover in your life before it's too late!
