EDITORS COMMENTS
Arnold Genthe's captivating photograph, Swiskaya, Countess, and Male Dance Partner, between 1917 and 1929, transports us back to the enchanting era of the 1910s and 1920s in America. The image showcases the Countess Swiskaya, a renowned ballet dancer, in a mesmerizing moment of devotion and romance with her male dance partner. The black and white nitrate negative, held in the Library of Congress, captures the couple in a full-length pose, with the Countess gracefully standing on one leg, eyes closed, in her elegant ballet tutu. The male partner supports her with a gentle touch, his eyes fixed on her, conveying a deep connection between them. The image is a testament to the timeless beauty of ballet and the passion it inspires. The couple's attire, consisting of traditional ballet apparel, adds to the authenticity of the scene. The image is a still moment in time, frozen in history, and serves as a reminder of the enduring power of love stories, performed on the stage for all to witness.
