In 1911, Baroness Catherine D'Erlanger reintroduced Emil Otto Hoppé (1878-1972) to Sergei Diaghilev, impresario of the Ballets Russes. He became a "house photographer" for the popular troupe, capturing their biggest stars, including Vaslav Nijinsky, during their London seasons. In 1913, he published his first limited-edition print portfolio, entitled "Studies from the Russian Ballets" and has a major exhibition of his work at Goupil Gallery in London. - Ref.
