A scarce and early work dedicated to one of the most famous dancers of the Ballets Russes - Tamara Karsavina.

Robert Brussel was one of the first critics to promote the Ballets Russes and became a close friend of Karsavina. After seeing the premiere of The Firebird in 1910 Brussel wrote 'by the end of the first scene, I was conquered: by the last, I was lost in admiration'.

Charles Gir was a noted painter, watercolorist, sculptor and illustrator. He was married to Jeanne Fusier-Gir, a well-known actress, and they attended the Paris Opera every night for 17 years where she performed.

Limited edition, one of 500 numbered copies, folio (38.5 x 28 cm); six lithographs hors-texte after Gris, very minor scattered spotting; original printed wrappers, thick white cord tie, light wear to wrappers, in a modern box with a paper labels to cover and spine, a very good copy.
