Description

The topless star of the Folies Bergere

Scarce program for Folies Bergere: A Wind of Madness, Fifth Album, 1927, 9.5 x 12.25, signed inside on a topless color image of Baker in blue felt tip, "Love from your Josephine, 1973." In very good to fine condition, with creasing to the lower hinge-most corner of each page, and the covers detached but present. Made all the more desirable by its uncommon color format, this is the first signed example of this famous pose that we have encountered. A delightful rarity of the 'Creole Goddess.'
