Posed on-stage photograph of The Sleeping Princess (La Belle au bois dormant) by the Stage Photo Company. The ballet was staged by Serge Diaghilev's Ballets Russes at the Alhambra Theatre, Leicester Square, London, on 2 November 1921 and ran until 4 February 1922. It was based on the choreography of Marius Petipa's 1890 production which was reproduced by Serguyev to music by Piotr Tchaikovsky. New additions were made to the ballet choreographed by Bronislava Nijinska and the whole production was designed by Leon Bakst.

This photograph of dancers in costume for Act V was used on the back of the 8-page advertising booklet for The Sleeping Princess at the Alhambra, 1921-22. The image shows Bakst's set (now owned by the V&A) and a line-up of the fairy tale characters including two of the Innocent Ivan and his Brothers characters, the Shah and Scheherazade, Harlequin and Columbine, Bluebeard, Ariana and Sister Anne, Little Red Riding Hood, the White Cat and Puss in Boots, the Porcelain Princesses, dancers of the Mazurka, Princess Aurora (Egorova) , the Queen, King and Catalabutte.
