  Left to Right: Helen Brecknell, Helen Thibou, Sonia Humphrey (1947-2011), Margot Fonteyn (1919-1991), Michael Somes (1917-1994), Edouard Borovanksky (1902-1959); Mascot Airport, Sydney, May 1957. Don't miss reading "When Sonia met Margot" -- a brief article by Valerie Lawson that explains how these 3 nine-year-old girls came to meet Margot Fonteyn (and appeared on page one of The Sydney Morning Herald) -- and how this chance meeting led to another front page Herald story, five years later, showing Sonia and Fonteyn looking at the previous photo together. This is a gem of a footnote that totally brings this photo to life!
