EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative black-and-white photograph captures the enigmatic allure of Josephine Baker, the legendary French singer and dancer, in her dressing room prior to taking the stage for a BBC cabaret show titled "Cafe Continental" at Alexandra Palace on June 26, 1948. The image transports us back in time to an era of glamour and sophistication, as Baker prepares to captivate her audience with her inimitable charm and charisma. Dressed in a stunning Schiarapelli gown, a testament to the elegance and craftsmanship of the time, Baker exudes an air of confidence and poise. The gown, which cost a considerable 1,200 pounds, was a fitting choice for the occasion, adding to the opulence and grandeur of the production. Baker's career had already spanned several decades by this point, with her rise to fame beginning in the 1920s as a star of the Parisian cabaret scene. Her groundbreaking performances and daring costumes, which often included little more than a feather headdress and a g-string, challenged societal norms and made her a symbol of liberation and empowerment for women. Despite her success, Baker's life was not without its challenges. She faced racism and discrimination both in the United States and in Europe, and her personal life was marked by tragedy and heartache. Yet, she continued to perform, using her art as a means of expression and survival. This photograph, taken near the end of her career, serves as a reminder of Baker's enduring legacy as a trailblazing performer and a symbol of resilience and determination. It also highlights the rich history of cabaret and the important role it played in shaping the cultural landscape of the 20th century.
