Ballerinas, 1890

Entitled: "Two ballerinas, blond woman in front with brunette woman behind." A ballet dancer s a person who practices the art of ballet. Traditional, gender-specific titles are used for ballet dancers. In French, a male ballet dancer is referred to as a danseur and a female as a danseuse. As late as the 1950s a ballerina was the principal female dancer of a ballet company who was also very accomplished in the international world of ballet, especially beyond her own company; female dancers who danced ballet were then called danseuses or simply ballet dancers. Ballerina was a critical accolade bestowed on relatively few female dancers, somewhat similar to the title diva in opera. Color lithograph created by Calvert Litho. Co., 1890.
