Baker, Josephine. (1906–1975)

Signed Photograph

An extraordinary signed vintage sepia postcard photograph of the legendary entertainer shown in seated profile, fully in the nude, boldly signed in black ink and dated 1929. 10 x 15 cm and set in a fanciful layered mat creating an Art Deco effect. Very fine.


Baker was most noted as a singer, while in her early career she was a celebrated dancer. She was given the nicknames the "Black Venus" or the "Black Pearl", as well as the "Créole Goddess" in anglophone nations, while in France she has always been known in the old theatrical tradition as "La Baker."
