Pavlova") in Cyrillic and dated 1926, platinum print, 8½ x 6½ inches, portrait of the ballerina with her Boston Terrier, Poppy, photographer's credit in image ("d'Ora / Paris"), framed. Together with a copy of Dandre's biography of Pavlova (London: 1932), reproducing d'Ora's portrait of the ballerina.
