Desha Delteil in a Roman inspired full body costume, with winged feet and a headdress. The light play in this pictorialist view is astounding, her shadow becomes another character in the dance. The spotlight followed the dancing of Desha thru the Fokine Ballet and the ‘Rose of Stamboul’. Published in Shadowland, Oct. 1922 issue. / sources: grapefruitmoongallery and
