EDITORS COMMENTS
by Terrence Parker: A Captivating Glance into the Past of Gwyneth Mathews, Ballerina Extraordinaire This evocative photograph captures the ethereal grace and enchanting allure of Gwyneth Mathews, a remarkable ballerina of the Vic-Wells Ballet Company, in the mesmerizing role of an apparition. Taken in 1937, this image is a captivating glimpse into the rich history of ballet during the 1930s. Gwyneth Mathews' ethereal presence is brought to life through the delicate interplay of light and shadow, as she appears to float effortlessly on the tips of her toes. Her elegant form is swathed in an ethereal, diaphanous dress that seems to blend with the darkness around her, creating a hauntingly beautiful contrast. The intricate detailing of her costume, with its delicate beading and flowing lines, adds to the enchanting atmosphere of the image. The Vic-Wells Ballet Company, founded in 1931 by Dame Ninette de Valois, was a trailblazing organization that played a pivotal role in shaping the future of British ballet. This photograph, taken as a supplement to The Dancing Times in December 1937, serves as a testament to the extraordinary talent and artistry of its dancers, including Gwyneth Mathews, who graced the stage with her unforgettable performances. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back in time, to an era of elegance and enchantment, where the magic of ballet came alive through the dedication and artistry of its dancers. Gwyneth Mathews' captivating portrayal of an apparition in "Apparitions" is a reminder of the enduring power of dance to captivate and inspire, even as we continue to explore the depths of its history and evolution.
