Cecchetti, Enrico. (1850-1928). Signed Photograph. Extremely rare signed postcard photograph of perhaps the greatest teacher in ballet history. Creator of such roles as the Bluebird and Carabosse in Petipa's "The Sleeping Beauty," he was a star at the Imperial Ballet and by 1888 was widely accepted as the greatest ballet virtuoso in the world. As a teacher, he taught and mentored Anna Pavlova, Leonide Massine and Vaslav Nijinsky, among many others and traveled extensively as ballet master of Diaghilev's Ballet Russes. He created the ballet technique known now as the "Ceccheti Method," still used by many ballet companies around the world.
Inscribed "Souvenir de E. Cecchetti 1923," in very fine condition. This is the first signed photograph of Cecchetti that we have ever offered.
