Ferdinand Preiss (1882-1943), Lighter than Air, Ada May, an Art Deco carved ivory and patinated bronze figure, circa 1925, modelled arms raised, as though holding a bubble, on a geometric marble and onyx plinth, the silver plaque inscribed, Lighter than Air, Ada May by F Preiss, foundry mark to the bronze, 33.5cm high Note: modelled after the American dancer and screen actress Ada May (1896-1978), the figure is typical of Preiss's use of the athletic female form popular in Europe and America in the 1920s and 30s.
