EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the graceful presence of Laura Le Claire and Lottie Forbes, two ballet dancers from 19th century America. The exact date of this photograph remains unknown, but it was taken between 1855 and 1865 by an unidentified creator. Both women are dressed in stunning ballet costumes, emphasizing the elegance and poise associated with their art form. The full-length portrait captures Laura Le Claire and Lottie Forbes in mid-gesture, showcasing their skills as they strike a pose. Their ballet shoes are prominently displayed, symbolizing the dedication and hard work required to master this demanding dance style. The attention to detail is evident in every aspect of their attire – from the intricate sashes adorning their dresses to the stylish boots they wear offstage. The setting adds a touch of mystery to the image; it appears to be a countryside location with a carriage boot visible in the background. This suggests that these talented dancers may have been on tour or perhaps taking a momentary break from performing. Preserved within glass negatives at the Library of Congress' Brady Handy Collection, this rare snapshot offers us a glimpse into the world of ballet during its early years in America. It serves as a testament not only to Laura Le Claire's and Lottie Forbes' individual talents but also to the enduring legacy of ballet as an art form that continues to captivate audiences today.
