It’s 1926 at Her Majesty’s Theatre in Sydney and Madame Pavlova is wearing Lustre ‘Silktex’ stockings!

Anna Pavlova was a Russian prima ballerina, famous around the World, and Monte Luke took this beautiful photograph of her for an advertisement in the performance programme!

The text reads: For your happy remembrance—a study of Madame Pavlova wearing Lustre ‘Silktex’ stockings. With the compliments of Lustre Hosiery Ltd
