The Photographs series includes many photographs of Denishawn dancers, Betty McCrea, Betty Horst (wife of Louis Horst), Anne Douglas, Irene Pryor, Betty Ross, and particularly Grace McCrea. Many of the photographs feature dancers in costume, but most of the performance works are not identified. Photographs of Ruth St. Denis and Ted Shawn show them in costume as well as informally. Martha Graham appears in the background with McCrea in two photographs for Pettigrew's Girl. Many of the photographs are inscribed, including notes from St. Denis and Shawn. | |||||||||||||
