Shakers Near Lebanon

Amerikanische Grafik 1837–1850, c. 1838–1857

This is a drawing of a group of Shakers dancing near Lebanon. The image shows two rows of dancing figures in traditional attire within a room with windows showing green trees. The walls are adorned with hats and coats, arranged neatly. The men and women face each other in parallel lines, with the women in white dresses and bonnets, and the men in vests. One person dressed in red is seated, with a top hat on a nearby stool. The scene conveys a sense of rhythmic and communal activity, set in a serene environment.
