Through friends in Paris she obtained an engagement at Olympia where her remarkable performance has again proved that Europe can learn much from the East.

EDITORS COMMENTS
Javanese Royalty mesmerizes Paris with an exotic dance. Princess Fazil, who was sent to Holland for her education, surprised her tutors by showing no interest in learning Dutch but instead showcasing the captivating temple maidens' dance from Java. With the help of friends in Paris, she secured a performance at Olympia that left audiences astounded and proved once again that Europe could learn valuable lessons from the East. This striking print captures Princess Fazil's beauty and grace as she dons an elaborate headdress, exuding elegance and style. Taken in 1927 during the interwar period, this image showcases a moment where cultures collide and traditions are shared. Photographed by Madame Dora Kallmus, also known as Madame D'Ora, a renowned fashion photographer of her time, this image is a testament to her talent for capturing both beauty and personality through her lens. The monochrome aesthetic adds depth to the photograph while highlighting Princess Fazil's profile. Preserved by TopFoto. co. uk, this historical gem transports us back to an era when cultural exchange was celebrated on stages across Europe. It serves as a reminder that art knows no boundaries or borders; it transcends language barriers and unites people through its universal appeal.
