Young Ballet Of The World USSR
Original vintage Soviet film poster for a feature on the first International Ballet Competition for young ballet dancers held in Moscow - Молодой балет мира / Young World Ballet - showing a ballerina (possibly the prima ballerina Ludmila Semenyaka b. 1952) in an elegant pose in front of a world map shaded like a theatre curtain with the title above and the credits below. Now a firm tradition in the ballet world, this ballet competition was founded in 1969 by the legends of the Russian Ballet - Igor Moiseyev (1906-2007), Olga Lepeshinskaya (1916-2008) and Galina Ulanova (1910-1998) - held every four years and judged by an international jury; this first competition in 1969 was won by the renowned ballet dancer and choreographer Mikhail Baryshnikov (b. 1948). Artwork by the notable poster artist and Member of the Union of Cinematographers of the USSR Sergei Datskevich (1919-1977). Good condition, creasing, tears, small paper losses, staining, foxing.

FAQs
More information about our posters and service.
Are your posters originals?
All our antique and vintage posters, books, maps and prints listed on our website are guaranteed originals as detailed in their photographs and descriptions, and include a certificate of authenticity.
What is a lithograph?
Practically all of the posters found on our website are lithographs. This is a method of printing that involves carving each colour of the image onto a piece of stone. The poster sheet is then imprinted consecutively with a stone slab for each colour, creating a stunning and rich image.
With the exception of silk printing, we believe that other printing techniques do not deliver the same impact of colour as lithography.
Where do you deliver to?
