EDITORS COMMENTS
This delightful postcard depicts a charming and flamboyant cross-dressing male performer from the north-west of England, striking a pose on the stage in a grand hall. Dressed in an extravagant white dancer's outfit complete with frilly petticoats, silk headband, and a beaming smile, this Merseysider exudes an infectious sense of joy and merriment. The historical context of this image is unclear, but it is believed to date back to the early 20th century, a time when cross-dressing and drag performances were a popular form of entertainment in music halls and theatres across the UK. The artistry and dedication of the dresser who prepared this performer for the stage are evident in the meticulous attention to detail, from the intricate lacing of the corset to the perfectly arranged curls of the wig. The performer's confident and playful expression suggests a deep connection to the art of cross-dressing, a tradition that transcends gender boundaries and celebrates the human spirit. Despite the stigma and discrimination faced by cross-dressers and transvestites during this period, they continued to perform in public, often in the face of adversity and hostility. This image serves as a reminder of the rich history of cross-dressing in the performing arts and the resilience of those who dared to defy societal norms and expectations. The north-west of England has a long and proud tradition of cross-dressing and drag performances, with notable figures such as Lily Savage and Betty Legs Diamond hailing from the region. This postcard is a testament to the enduring appeal of this art form and the joy and laughter it brings to audiences.
