EDITORS COMMENTS
In the heart of Paris's vibrant nightlife scene, Josephine Baker captivates audiences at the legendary Folies Bergère cabaret in 1927. Known for her electrifying energy and groundbreaking performances, Baker is seen here executing the Super-Charleston, a daring and innovative adaptation of the popular Charleston dance. The glass dance floor adds an extra layer of allure and intrigue to her act, showcasing her grace, agility, and fearless spirit. The 1920s, also known as the Jazz Age, were a time of artistic and cultural revolution, and Baker was at the forefront of this movement. Her captivating performances, which often defied societal norms, made her an international sensation and a symbol of the liberated, modern woman. This iconic image, captured by the Illustrated London News Ltd, is a testament to Baker's enduring legacy as a trailblazing entertainer and a symbol of the excitement and innovation of the Parisian cabaret scene during the 1920s.
