Note
The date handwritten on the reverse is different to the date of her farewell performance, 1935. 1931 marks the year that Bedells performed the solo as a guest artist at the Vic-Vells Ballet. The date given on record remains as 1935 as other photographs taken as part of the farewell performance (BED. 34 - BED. 36) share the same studio space and background as this image.
