London, Beaumont, 1922
Limited edition signed by Karsavina. This book is a wonderfully sincere ode to one of the greatest dancers and indeed artists of the 20th century, Svetlov writes in his introduction, 'I have addressed myself to the task with a deep and genuine affection for the art that all my life has enthralled my senses - also with a feeling of deep admiration for the dancer's wonderful gifts.'
First edition, limited to 120 copies signed by Karsavina, this numbered 44; 4to (31.5 x 22 cm); 149pp., frontispiece in colour, 16 hand-coloured plates and 15 camera portraits; vellum-backed decorated boards, vellum a little stained, otherwise a very good copy.
