EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the grace and elegance of Pearl Argyle, a renowned ballerina of the Vic-Wells Ballet, in the enchanting role of Pomona during a performance in the 1930s. The image, taken from a supplement to The Dancing Times in December 1937, showcases Argyle in an ethereal pose atop a shadowy stage, her slender form poised in perfect balance on the tips of her toes. The delicate folds of her tutu and the delicate curve of her neck add to the ethereal quality of the image, transporting us back to the golden age of ballet. Argyle's expressive face and piercing gaze convey a sense of deep concentration and passion for her art, making this photograph a beautiful testament to her skill and dedication as a dancer. The Vic-Wells Ballet, under the direction of Ninette de Valois, was known for its innovative and modern approach to classical ballet, and Argyle's performance as Pomona would have been a highlight of the company's repertoire. This photograph is a stunning reminder of the timeless beauty and artistry of ballet in the 1930s.
