A young, dark-haired woman performs a dance inspired by George du Maurier's character Trilby, in an early modern dance style reminiscent of Isadora Duncan. She dances barefoot without stockings and is dressed in a long, flowing gown bound across the bosom in Grecian style, with inside fringe and a draped cape hooked to her wrist. She also wears what appears to be a garland headpiece. Holding her gown with one hand throughout, the dancer performs a series of kicks and turns with leg kicks front and back, rocking, and round de jambe.

  • She had nice legs and didn't seem bad-looking too. Quite a babe for her day.

  • Im surprised she was allowed to show so much leg!

  • perfection

  • Wow!! It's impressive that these films have survived for well over 100 years. I DO have to say, even though I don't know a thing about dancing, this must have been pretty scandalous in 1898 for obvious reasons...
