Artiste Deslys Gaby Lying Singer 1907
EDITORS COMMENTS
This image captures the enchanting French singer and music hall artiste, Gaby Deslys, in a moment of repose during a performance in 1907. The photograph finds Gaby lying gracefully on a pristine white rug, her elegant attire and expressive face drawing the eye. With a career that spanned the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Gaby Deslys was a sensation in the Parisian music scene, known for her sultry voice and captivating stage presence. Born Gabrielle Clementine Sarraut in 1881, Gaby Deslys began her career as a dancer before transitioning to singing. She quickly rose to fame in the Parisian music halls, becoming a regular performer at the Moulin Rouge and the Folies Bergère. Her repertoire included French and American songs, as well as original compositions, and she was renowned for her ability to connect with her audience. The white rug on which Gaby lies adds an air of luxury and sophistication to the image, emphasizing the opulence of the music hall setting. The photograph also serves as a reminder of the glamour and allure of the Belle Époque era, a time when music halls and cabarets were the height of entertainment and culture in Paris. Despite her success, Gaby Deslys' personal life was marked by tragedy and scandal. She was married twice and had two children, both of whom died young. She also faced controversy for her public relationships with high-profile men, including the Prince of Wales and the American actor, Charlie Chaplin. This photograph of Gaby Deslys, lying on the white rug, is a testament to her enduring legacy as a French music hall icon and a symbol of the Belle Époque era's allure and glamour.
