Harlip was a photography studio specializing in celebrity portraits and based in London. Until 1937, the Harlip studio had its headquarters on the Kurfürstendamm in Berlin. Afterwards, the Harlips left Berlin due to the growing crackdown on Jewish businesses and moved to London. After Dr. Harlip’s death in 1945, Mrs. Harlip continued the business there as one of the great socialite photographers of the 1950s. / src Drouot

Anna Pavlova, ca. 1915

Arnold Genthe :: Anna Pavlowa, about 1915. Gelatin silver print.
«The Russian ballerina Anna Pavlowa (or Pavlova) so greatly admired Arnold Genthe’s work that she made the unusual decision to visit his studio, rather than have him come to her rehearsals. The resulting portrait of the prolific dancer, leaping in mid-air, is the only photograph to capture Pavlowa in free movement. Genthe regarded this print as one of the best dance photographs he ever made.»
