EDITORS COMMENTS
"An Indian Taught by a Spanish Dancer: Mlle. Roshanara, 1911. Mademoiselle Roshanara, born Olive Katherine Craddock, captivates the audience in these theatrical portraits as she gracefully poses in traditional Indian dance attire, barefoot and adorned in intricate jewellery. Having recently mesmerized London's Garrick Theatre audience with her enchanting performances of Oriental dances in the production of Kismet, Roshanara showcases her mastery of the art form. Born in British India, Roshanara was an Anglo-Indian dancer, whose training in the rich cultural traditions of Indian dance set her apart from her contemporaries. Her unique background and dedication to her craft earned her recognition and acclaim in the early 20th century. These evocative images transport us back to the Edwardian era, a time when the world was captivated by the exotic allure of the East. As Roshanara's expressive movements and captivating presence continue to enchant us, we are reminded of the enduring influence of cross-cultural exchange on the arts during this fascinating period in history. Mlle. Roshanara's legacy as a trailblazing Anglo-Indian dancer continues to inspire and intrigue, offering a glimpse into the rich cultural tapestry of the 1910s and the 20th century as a whole."
