Includes images of Isadora Duncan, Anna Pavlova, Ruth St. Denis, and other notable dancers of the period. In his Foreward, Genthe states "When I decided to publish in book form the pictures of the dance which I made during the last few years, my object was not to make a book of personalities. I merely wanted to show some of the phases of modern dance tendencies that could be recorded in a pictorially interesting manner. This, therefore, is meant to be just a picture book, permanently recording something of the fugitive charm of rhythmic motion, significant gesture and brilliant color which the dance has once more brought into our lives.

Condition
Spine darkened slightly, some soiling to cloth; front hinge cracked, a few stains within; images very good or better; overall very good.
