PAVLOVA ANNA: (1881-1931) Russian Prima Ballerina.

An appealing vintage signed and inscribed 6.5 x 8 photograph, an elegant image of Pavlova in a full length dance pose wearing her ballet costume from the divertissement Au Bal (c.1927). Photograph published by Ross. Signed in bold, black fountain pen ink across a clear area of the image. Neatly mounted and with some very minor traces of professional restoration to the image, VGPavlova became the first ballerina to tour ballet, with her own company, around the world and is most recognised for the creation of the role The Dying Swan.
