About this work

This photo shows a 1938 stage moment from *Jardin aux lilas*. Four dancers pose in costume: Hugh Laing, Peggy van Praagh, Antony Tudor, and Agnes de Mille. The shot captures a ballet moment frozen on film. The photo links two years of the same ballet. Tudor choreographed the first version in 1936, then restaged it in 1938. Look up the Victoria and Albert Museum.
