Description: | Gordon Anthony was one of the leading theatre photographers in Britain during the 1930s. He was especially known for his studio photographs of dancers. He covered the rise of the Vic-Wells Ballet extensively, and also the visiting Ballets Russes companies, as well as theatre productions, notably at the Shakespeare Memorial Theatre, Stratford.
The collection contains a cuttings album, recording his published work between 1933 and 1935, and a framed programme for the 25th anniversary performance of the Sadler's Wells Ballet at the Royal Opera House, signed by most of the company.
