Artist
William Spooner
William Spooner is a Romanticism artist. 2 works are cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.
William Spooner made 19th‑century prints that caught Victorian London’s love of dance and fashion. His “The Favourites of the Ballet” shows ballerina Carlotta Grisi mid‑polka, printed on 21 June 1844—look for the crinoline and the sprung wooden floorboards. The H Beard Print Collection bundles his lighter, hand‑coloured social scenes. Tap “The Favourites of the Ballet” to zoom in on Grisi’s ribbon flutter and the crowd’s top hats.
