1. From the autograph book (16,cm X 11cm).. Autpgraph of Anna Pavlova. Anna Pavlovna (Matveyevna) Pavlova (Russian: Анна Павловна (Матвеевна) Павлова; February 12 [O.S. January 31] 1881 – January 23, 1931) was a Russian prima ballerina of the late 19th and the early 20th centuries. She was a principal artist of the Imperial Russian Ballet and the Ballets Russes of Sergei Diaghilev. Pavlova is most recognized for the creation of the role The Dying Swan and, with her own company, became the first ballerina to tour ballet around the world. From another site there is unknown to me autograph and drawing. 2. Autograph from Pierre Vladimiroff (12cm X 5,9cm) who was the last dancing partner of Anna Pavlova. Vladimirov graduated from the Imperial Ballet School in 1911 and remained a member of the Imperial Ballet company until 1918. In 1915, he received the title of the first dancer.[clarification needed] In 1920, he and his later wife Felia Doubrovska emigrated to the West,[where?] where they joined the Ballets Russes; all roles of Vaslav Nijinsky went to Pierre Vladimiroff (Nijinsky left the Diaghilev company in 1917). Later, he danced with the Mordkin Ballet and joined Anna Pavlova's company on Pavlova's last tour, becoming her last partner. From 1934 to 1967, he taught at the School of American Ballet, being the first teacher of the newly founded school to teach the male students.
