Photographer’s stamp with address at “Wien I. Ebendorferstraße 3”, her copyright stamp and her re-order stamp with handwritten negative no. “281” in ink, and handwritten title in pencil on the reverse [‘Die Tänzerin Ronny Johansson’]. Ronny Irene Johansson was born 1891 in Latvia, to Swedish and Scottish parents. Her father, a businessman in the shipping industry, sent Ronny to Russian and Swedish boarding schools. It was in Sweden that she established a professional dancing career, debuting in Weisbaden in 1916. After touring and performing throughout Europe, she moved to the USA in 1925 to pursue Modern dance. [quoted from source]
