The Latest Thing in Flasks: A Glimpse into 1920s Washington, D. C". In this photograph taken in 1926 by an American photographer, we are transported back to the vibrant era of flappers and prohibition. The image showcases the glamorous dancer Mlle. Rhea, who is performing with the renowned Keith's Vaudeville program. However, it is not her mesmerizing dance moves that steal the spotlight; instead, she introduces a new trend that has taken hold of Washington – the garter flask. With a mischievous smile on her face, Mlle. Rhea proudly displays this innovative accessory hidden beneath her elegant dress. The flask cleverly disguised as a garter epitomizes both style and rebellion during a time when alcohol consumption was strictly prohibited. The scene is set against a backdrop of candlelight and chandeliers casting their warm glow upon the stage. Mlle. Rhea's beauty radiates from every angle as she sits gracefully at a table adorned with vintage candlesticks and drinking glasses. This photograph captures not only an iconic moment in history but also reflects society's ingenuity in finding ways to enjoy life despite restrictive laws. It serves as a reminder of how art can transcend boundaries and capture moments that shape our cultural landscape. As we gaze upon this remarkable print from Fine Art Finder, we are transported to an era filled with excitement, innovation, and defiance – where even something as simple as a flask could become an emblem of rebellion.
