Nijinsky, Waslaw. (1889-1950): Vintage Photograph in Les Sylphides BALLET

Nijinsky, Waslaw. (1889-1950) Vintage Photograph in Les Sylphides Vintage photograph of the great dancer printed on matte photo paper stock, apparently a photograph of a laid down trimmed program photograph. Probably printed ca. 1940s but undated. Corners perished, edges chipped and torn, image itself in good shape. 8 x 10 inches (21 x 27 cm).
Nijinsky is shown as he appeared in the historic first production of Fokine's Les Sylphides  by Sergei Diaghilev's Ballets Russes, premiered 2 June 1909 at Théâtre du Châtelet, Paris, together with Tamara Karsavina, Anna Pavlova, and Alexandra Baldina. The ballet, described as a "romantic reverie", is frequently cited as the first ballet to be simply about mood and dance.  Les Sylphides  has no plot but instead consists of several white-clad sylphs dancing in the moonlight with the "poet" or "young man" dressed in white tights and a black tunic.
