Biographical/historical: Richard Park Beard, 1925-2009, the former owner of these prints, made his debut as a professional dancer with Ballet International in 1944, and subsequently danced with Ballet Theatre, Ballet Society, and the New York City Ballet. He also danced and choreographed for television and nightclub shows.
Content: Forms part of the Richard Park Beard collection. Graphics.
Content: This print of Auguste Vestris was doubtlessly intended as a caricature, as indicated by the caption's punning reference to his first name, the moneybag he carries in his left hand, and the pair of monkeys that imitate his pose.
