ANNA PAVLOVA
Postcard photo, showing her in Dragonfly, signed in fountain pen
Postcard Photograph signed: "Anna Pavlova". Sepia, 3½x5½. Russian prima ballerina Anna Pavlova (1881-1931) studied with the Maryinsky Theatre's Imperial School of Ballet in 1891, joining the Imperial Ballet in 1899 and becoming a prima ballerina, after having successfully danced Giselle, in 1906, the year before she embarked on her first tour. She made her U.S. debut at the Metropolitan Opera House in New York in 1910. After returning to Russia, Pavlova founded her own group with eight dancers in St. Petersburg, and she resumed world tours (including her first return visit to the U.S.) in 1913. Pavlova was known for her grace and elegance, evident in her most famous performance, The Dying Swan. In 1918, she choreographed Autumn Leaves, which, along with Californian Poppy and The Dragonfly, became audience favorites. Pavolva refused an operation which might have saved her life but would have ended her dancing career. Lightly toned. Mounting residue on verso. Fine condition.
