This is from the Ballet Russe' 1916 tour. A neighbor found this Souvenir / Brochure in the trash and sold it to me for $25 several years ago. i posted them on here and then lost them for the next few years and just found them today buried in my warehouse. i've been wanting to frame it in one of these very deep, walnut frames for years now. i'm very happy i found them and am now able to frame them. This one has a beautiful orange dancer on the flip side.
They are really great images !!!! Nijinsky Fabulous !!!!

A few years ago I went to a Ballet Russe retrospective at our National Gallery.
Wonderful costumes and backdrops and other ephemera -so artistic.
Nijinsky must have been the size of a flea!
This looks like Nijinsky's costume for Debussy's "Prelude to The Afternoon of the Faun". Really scandalous for the day ! Beautiful Ho2 !
