A 1913 folk-dance manual by Elizabeth Burchenal, published in New York by G. Schirmer for teachers and playground leaders, with music and step directions for twenty-eight dances from the United States and northern Europe. Coarse-screen halftones show costumed dancers mid-step on rooftops and paved yards: leaping soloists, linked circles, joined-hand chains, and swirling skirts against blank walls.
