Vintage Anna Pavlova Postcards

Browsing through hundreds of vintage postcard images on Flickr, I came across these vintage postcards with images of famous ballerina, Anna Pavlova. They reminded me of a time as a child when I dreamed of dancing on stage up on stage in a beautiful costume. Those days are long gone, but the complete adoration of Anna will stay forever.

Anna Pavlova was a Russian ballerina of the late 19th and the early 20th century. She is widely regarded as one of the most famous and popular classical ballet dancers in history and was most noted as a Principal artist of the Imperial Russian Ballet and the Ballets Russes of Serge Diaghilev. Pavlova is most recognised for the creation of the role The Dying Swan and with her own company, would become the first ballerina to tour ballet around the world. (link)
