Kellom Tomlinson's Notebook: A New Discovery RESUMEN: This article describes the manuscript notes and exercises relating to dance which were written into a copy of Mathew Simons' map book, A Direction for the English Traviller, once owned by the dancing-master Kellom Tomlinson and now in the care of the Lilly Library at Indiana University. The nature, contents and handwriting of the dance notes, which perhaps date from the second decade of the eighteenth century, suggest that the notes, some of which are annotated or corrected by Tomlinson himself, may have been the work of one of his pupils or apprentices. Picturing a Gentleman Dancing-Master: A Lost Portrait of Kellom Tomlinson RESUMEN: This article, which derives from a paper given at the British Society for Eighteenth Century Studies at St Hugh's College, Oxford, in Jannuary 2012, describes the recent identification of the portrait of the dancing-master Kellom Tomlinson painted by Richard Van Bleeck in 1716, and discusses its significance in comparison with the later mezzotint by François Morellon La Cave and the light each throws on Tomlinson's relations with the subscribers and dedicatees of his dance manual, The Art of Dancing (1735).
