"Good Morning, After a Sleep of Twenty-Five Years Old-Fashioned Dancing is Being Revived by Mr. and Mrs. Henry Ford" 1926
01
Artifact Overview
Henry Ford's "Good Morning" book provided illustrated instructions on the proper steps and deportment for old-fashioned dancing--it was part of Ford's crusade to revive the dances of his youth. Written by Ford's dancing master Benjamin Lovett, much research--based on old dance manuals and interviews with "old-timers"--went into it. First printed in 1926, the book sold widely for many years.
