Yesterday's Times carried an obituary notice for the dance photographer Frederika Davis, whose pictures of Fonteyn and Nureyev and other dancers of that era were very well known and are still admired.

 

I remember her particularly for a photograph of Natalia Bessmertnova which appeared on the cover of the Dancing Times in 1960-something - it was the first photo I ever bought and still remains, in my view, unsurpassed both for the dancer and the picture.

I believe I may have a set of mounted photos of Fonteyn and Nureyev taken by her - I meant to look into them further, but they've been inaccessible for quite some time now.
