Anna Pavlova (1881-1912), Russian ballet dancer, 1911-1912. Artist: Alfred Ellis & Walery
Anna Pavlova (1881-1912), Russian ballet dancer, 1911-1912. Pavlova was the most famous classical ballerina of her era. She trained at the school of the Imperial Ballet, made her debut as soloist in 1899, and became prima ballerina of the company in 1906. Pavlova toured Europe in 1907, appeared briefly with the Ballets Russes of the Russian impresario Sergey Diaghilev and, in 1910 made her American debut with the Russian dancer Mikhail Mordkin at the Metropolitan Opera House in New York City. She founded her own company in 1911, and until 1931, when she died of pneumonia while on tour, she danced extensively in Europe, the Americas, Africa, and Asia, often bringing ballet for the first time to remote areas. Conservative in her aesthetics, Pavlova was an outstanding representative of classical Russian ballet, admired for the poetic quality of her movement. She was also interested in ethnic dances and in the dance techniques of India and Japan. Her most famous classical roles were in Giselle, Swan Lake, Les Sylphides, Don Quixote, Coppelia, and in the solo dance The Dying Swan, created for her in 1905 by the Russian choreographer Michel Fokine. From Penroses Pictorial Annual 1911-1912, The Process Year Book, volume 17, edited by William Gamble and published by AW Penrose (London, 1911-1912). (Colorised black and white print)

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the legendary Anna Pavlova, a Russian ballet dancer who mesmerized audiences during her brief but illustrious career. Taken in 1911-1912 by Alfred Ellis & Walery, this colorised image beautifully captures Pavlova's grace and elegance. Born in 1881, Pavlova trained at the prestigious school of the Imperial Ballet before making her debut as a soloist in 1899. Her talent quickly propelled her to become prima ballerina of the company in 1906. Renowned for her poetic movement and conservative aesthetics, she became the most famous classical ballerina of her era. Pavlova's influence extended far beyond Russia. In 1907, she embarked on a European tour and briefly joined Sergei Diaghilev's Ballets Russes. She made waves across the Atlantic with her American debut at New York City's Metropolitan Opera House alongside Mikhail Mordkin in 1910. Intrigued by ethnic dances and dance techniques from India and Japan, Pavlova founded her own company in 1911. Until her untimely death from pneumonia while on tour in 1931, she tirelessly brought ballet to remote areas around Europe, Americas, Africa, and Asia. Her iconic roles included Giselle, Swan Lake, Les Sylphides, Don Quixote, Coppelia, and The Dying Swan – a solo dance created especially for her by Michel Fokine in 1905. This stunning print is not just an artistic representation; it encapsulates the legacy of Anna Pavlova – an extraordinary artist whose passion for ballet transcended borders and continues to inspire dancers worldwide.
