Cutting from a scrapbook created by Gilbert Barker: photograph of
Tamara Karsavina in the title role of Fokine’s The Firebird [L’Oiseau de
feu], 1910.
Karsavina’s costume was designed by Léon Bakst; it presented her in a
tall plumed headdress adorned with long plaits, wearing ‘harem-style’
trousers. Photo: Bertram Park / src: Royal Ballet School
