The origin of this image is unknown, which suggests it is rare. At a guess, it dates from the late 1910s or early 1920s and was possibly the cover of a ballet and theatre periodical. It is an image I fell in love with a couple of years ago when I was exploring Vintage Art Download, an exquisite site full of vintage images — some very rare — offered for sale by Mindy Sommers of Color Bakery.
