Wonderful! I would really like to know more about the picture though. What are the origins, etc.? BTW, thanks for sharing all your tweets. They're great!

I don't know who the artist is, but it's a depiction of Shakers dancing during worship. Here's a link to a Wikimedia Commons file of the same image taken from a book: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Gleanings_from_old_Shaker_journals,_compiled_by_Clara_Endicott_Sears_(1916)_(14597303747).jpg …

i’ve seen this engraving of the austere shakers a number of times, and i always imagine the intro dance moves to some full company bway dance number. also, check out the women; nearly all identical. but the men...tall, short, different outfits, hair, etc.

Subtly eerie. One of the women in the back has a 5 o’clock shadow and resembles Mr. Bean. Also, many of the men look patently unhappy to be dancing, so it’s a pretty realistic rendering, in my estimation.

When too much drink is taken at an Irish wedding, you might see the ‘Siege of Ennis’ dancers getting a little over enthusiastic.pic.twitter.com/hQJemOddwY
