EDITORS COMMENTS
This delightful caricature captures the magic of a bygone era in the world of entertainment, featuring the legendary brother-sister dance team, Fred and Adele Astaire. The image, taken from the shows "Lady Be Good" and "Funny Face," showcases the trio in their element on the stage. Fred, with his trademark suave charm and graceful movements, is perfectly complemented by his sister Adele's elegant poise and captivating smile. Joining them is the versatile English actor and comedian, Leslie Henson, adding an extra dash of humor and charm to the scene. The Astaires' partnership on stage was a sensation, and their chemistry was undeniable. Adele retired from dancing in 1932, leaving the spotlight to marry Lord Charles Cavendish, the second son of the 9th Duke of Devonshire. Fred, however, continued to dazzle audiences with his new dance partner, the emerging Hollywood star, Ginger Rogers. This historical moment in the annals of dance and theatre history is brought to life through the skilled hand of the artist, Nerman. The image is a testament to the Astaires' enduring legacy and the indelible mark they left on the world of entertainment. Fred's eventual stardom in Hollywood, alongside the iconic Ginger Rogers, further cemented their status as dance legends. This caricature is a must-have for any collection of vintage theatre memorabilia or dance history enthusiasts.
