Another skating image from the collection

Here's a wonderful image by one of Dickens illustrators, George Cruikshank (1792-1878) I found in the Rosenbach collection....


These skaters, however, are obviously not ICE skating as they are in a parlor with an organist and a harpist! Doesn't it look like fun? A wonderful idea for Docent Social Night????
