1940 Double weight art photograph of the ballet "Black Ritual" which was a ground breaking performance by the brand new black ballet company in New York. Taken by famous photographer Carl Van Vechten and with his stamp on the back as well as embossed stamp on the front. Normally the images we have sold of Van Vechten are important for who took the image, but this one has double importance as the subject matter is incredible important as well! A perfect 10/10 that belongs in a museum or gallery!
