A Solemn warning to dancers is a religious tract issued in New York by the Methodist Episcopal Church's Tract Society, published between 1824 and 1832 and aimed at readers who danced. The single engraving shows a couple standing on a rocky cliff edge beside a wild rose bush and a small round table with a tiny figure, a moralizing scene a designer could borrow for allegorical landscape motifs.
