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.
