Mary Honer in the Role of a Sylph in Les Sylphides, Vic-Wells Ballet (December 1937) This photograph showcases the grace and elegance of Mary Honer as she dances the role of a Sylph in the iconic ballet, Les Sylphides, performed by the Vic-Wells Ballet in December 1937. The image, taken during the 1930s, captures Honer in mid-pose on pointe, her body elongated and fluid as she gracefully lifts one arm above her head. Her flowing white costume, adorned with intricate beading and delicate tulle, accentuates her ethereal and otherworldly appearance. The Vic-Wells Ballet, founded by Ninette de Valois in 1931, was a groundbreaking company that paved the way for British ballet to gain international recognition. Les Sylphides, choreographed by Michel Fokine in 1909, was one of the company's signature works, showcasing the dancers' technical prowess and artistic sensibility. Mary Honer, a rising star in the ballet world, was known for her exceptional grace and delicate artistry. In this photograph, she embodies the epitome of the Sylph, a supernatural being from mythology, who represents the spirit of the wind and the natural world. The image is a testament to Honer's ability to transport the audience to a magical realm through her captivating performance. This photograph is a rare and beautiful glimpse into the world of ballet during the 1930s, offering a glimpse into the past and a reminder of the timeless beauty and elegance of this art form.
