The first native-American prima ballerina, renowned for her work with the Ballet Russe de Monte Carlo and the New York City Ballet. Collection of 24 ALSs between the ballerina and esteemed collector, Saul Goodman, dating from 1954 to 1981, in which Tallchief sends thanks to Goodman for various presents, including stockings, shoes, and cakes, and discusses her dancing schedule. In one particular letter, Tallchief talks of her down time, in part: “Pleasant for a change, just to be home! As things stand now, shall definitely start to dance again, hopefully by spring. Of course, one never knows, & it’s stupid to make definite plans for the future. However, dancing & breathing are synonymous with me. So, am quite sure it’ll be ‘back to the game’!” In overall fine condition, with scattered light creasing, toning, and rubbing. Accompanied by 23 original mailing envelopes, each addressed in Tallchief’s hand.
