EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the graceful elegance of Laura Le Clair and Lottie Forbes, two renowned ballet dancers from 19th century America. The exact date of this image falls between 1855 and 1865, captured by an unknown photographer whose identity remains a mystery. Dressed in exquisite Victorian attire, Laura and Lottie exude poise as they strike a pose for the camera. Their embroidered dresses reflect the fashion trends of the era, showcasing intricate needlework that adds to their allure. Adorned with ballet shoes and tights, these talented women epitomize the beauty and skill associated with classical dance. The backdrop reveals a country setting, hinting at a momentary respite from their demanding profession. Perhaps they were taking a break during rehearsals or enjoying some leisure time amidst nature's embrace. The carriage boot visible in the frame suggests that they may have arrived at this location in style. Preserved within glass negatives housed at the Library of Congress' Brady Handy Collection, this portrait photograph captures an important chapter in American cultural history. It serves as a testament to both Laura Le Clair's and Lottie Forbes' contributions to ballet artistry during this period. As we gaze upon this still image frozen in time, we are transported back to an era where gracefulness reigned supreme on stage. This remarkable piece from Heritage Images allows us to appreciate not only these extraordinary dancers but also pays homage to all those who dedicated their lives to preserving our rich artistic heritage.
