  en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vaslav_Nijinsky en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Romola_de_Pulszky Nijinsky's Wikipedia entry indicates,"Nijinsky arrived in New York 4 April 1916." This matches the barely legible date written on the negative, 4/?/14

  Thank you swanq for putting the parents with their daughter. Looks as if both photos were taken in the same sitting. We'll add the dates to the records the next time we update.

Russian prima ballerina Anna Pavlova arriving at Central Station, Brisbane, 1926

from State Library of Queensland

• Vesna Verencevic said:

  With her 1926 tour of Australian cities including Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane and Adelaide , Russian ballerina Anna Pavlova, formerly principal artist of the Russian Imperial Ballet, became the first world-famous ballerina to tour Australia and around the world. Greeted by a crowd of 10,000 people on arrival by train from Melbourne, Pavlova had become well-known to world audiences for her signature role in The Dying Swan, a ballet created for her, which was of only four minutes duration. In rare public comments, she exhorted Australians to support the art she loved: “If you would like to do something in your country for my art, my Russian art, then I shall be glad to help you. I wish you happiness and prosperity. Your duty is to help your country to get these things.” The ‘Pavlova’ dessert was created in Anna Pavlova’s honour during her tour of Australia and New Zealand in the 1920s. To this day, the creation of the ‘Pavlova’ is claimed by both countries. Source www.governor.nsw.gov.au/government-house/stories/in-famou...
