Recueil d'Angloises arrangees avec leurs traits, telle quel se danse chez la Reine (Landrin, c.1765)

Publisher: M. Landrin, Maitre de Danse (Paris) / Library of Congress holding (LOC identifier listed as 1760-landrin in LOC_Ballroom_Text filename normalization; the cataloguing year c.1760-1765 range overlaps with LOC-1760-LANDRIN Potpourri Francois and LOC-1765-LANDRIN Recueil d'Angloises). Source: DATA/LIBRARY_OF_DANCE/ABBYY TXT/1765-Landrin-Recueil_(LOC).txt (37 lines, LOC scan; engraved-plate-heavy with OCR-noisy prose captions). STRUCTURE: English-style country-dance contredanse collection 'as danced at the Queen's court' — the mid-1760s Parisian court rendition of the contredanse Angloise. Figures described include: 'Les 4 Coins tournent autour du Couple' (four corners turn around the couple), 'Crossez et tournez un tour ensemble' (cross and turn together), 'Chaine avec les dames' (chain with the ladies), 'Rond en trois entiers, un demi tour un tour' (three-person round, half-turn full-turn), 'Chaine de cinq' (five-person chain), Grande Chaine, Couple fait un tour-grand alternativement. Engraved formation-plate captions reference back-to-back ('derriere l'un de l'autre'), taking hands ('se tiennent par les mains'), 'se tiennent par les mains et ne rompent le ronde', alternating rounds. PEDAGOGICAL FORMAT: plate-heavy contredanse figure-notation with minimal prose; not full step-pedagogy. HISTORIC SIGNIFICANCE: fills the Landrin-corpus gap between LOC-1760-LANDRIN (Potpourri Francois) and the later 1770s Landrin attributions in the Guillaume 1769 Almanach dansant (LOC-1769-GUILLAUME). Documents the mid-1760s transfer of the English country-dance figure-vocabulary into the Versailles court ballroom under Marie Leszczynska (until her death 1768) — the 'chez la Reine' attribution. OCR is too degraded for named-dance canonical extraction; registered at syllabus level with Has_Step_Detail=No and a handful of figure-level Rosetta appearances to existing Contredanse Angloise canonicals. ROSETTA STONE LINKS: figure-level matches to H-BAR-CD Chaine / Rond / Traverser canonical umbrellas.Year: 1765Family: landrinCatalog: local
