EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the enchanting presence of Olga Valery, a French actress of Ukrainian origin, as she graces the stage at the legendary Casino de Paris during the 1920s. The image, circa 1925, finds Olga adorned in a stunning, floral-themed costume, with roses and garlands draped around the door and her person. The comment on the postcard reverse, "The roses round the door, make you love Mother more," adds an air of sentimentality and nostalgia to the scene. Born as Olga Timchenko, Olga Valery's career began in Russia before she moved to Paris and became a celebrated figure in the French entertainment industry. Her exotic beauty and suggestive performances earned her comparisons to the famous Ziegfeld Follies, though she was not directly affiliated with the company. The 1920s, also known as the "Roaring Twenties," was a time of artistic and cultural flourishing, and Olga Valery's allure embodied the spirit of this era. The photograph's vibrant colors, from the rich blue background to the colorful ribbons and roses, further emphasize the whimsical and dreamlike atmosphere. With her expressive eyes and captivating smile, Olga Valery invites us to step into a world of enchantment and wonder, where roses and the love they evoke are the keys to unlocking the doors to our hearts.
