This was what it looked like by the mid 19th Century, from a prior post, re Bannon and Palin also. It still seemed like a wonderful world, soft liberal landing, even delicate, for its girth, for the West:

(The early ballet, Flore et Zephyr, was the origin of ballerinas going en pointe, as the technology of this ballet allowed them, and their partners, as the above image attests, to fly through the air on wires, and poise momentarily on the tips of their toes. Later dancers developed special shoes and techniques to achieve the effect without the wires.)
