Book desription: [Location: Granada, Spain, printed New York]. 25 May 1935.. Original sepia-tone borderless silver print. 25 x 16.5 cm (9.75 x 6.5 inches). Fine. A well-executed photograph by Van Vechten of a subject close to his heart and in one of his areas of greatest expertise: Spanish dancing. The print bears his blindstamp, and on the verso his credit stamp. It is captioned in ink on the verso, in his hand: "Gipsy Dancers, in front of the Gipsy Caves El Albaicin - The Sacromonte" and is dated and bears his negative number. Beginning with THE MUSIC OF SPAIN (1918), Van Vechten did much to introduce the subject, particularly Spanish dance, to readers in the U.S. and U.K. He photographed and promoted some of its practitioners when they toured in the U.S., but this photograph taken in situ is particularly choice.
