Description
Adolph Bolm (1884-1951) was a dancer, choreographer, and ballet master. Born in St. Petersburg, Russia, he danced with Diaghilev's Ballet Russe, and then emigrated to the United States, where he worked with Chicago Allied Arts, the San Francisco Opera, and the American Ballet Theatre, among others. This bookplate, which uses an alternate spelling of Bolm's first name, is signed "Senor Ismael Smith 1920."
Elizabeth Hyatt amassed a large collection of bookplates in honor of famed opera singer Annie Louise Cary (1841-1921), who was born in Wayne, and for whom the present library is named. After Hyatt's death, the bookplate collection became part of the library's holdings.
