EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled 'Showgirls / Rich Patron (Backstage)' by an unknown photographer, transports us back to the glamorous and intriguing world of 1920s burlesque. The image, available through Mary Evans Picture Library from Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a glimpse into the backstage drama of a lavish show, where the allure of wealth and power intertwines with the art of performance. In the heart of the scene, an old and wealthy patron, dressed in elegant attire and adorned with jewels, is surrounded by a group of showgirls. Each woman vies for his attention, their expressions a mix of hopefulness, determination, and a hint of mischief. The patron, with a knowing smile, seems to relish the attention, his eyes scanning the room as he considers his next move. The richness of the scene is not only in the opulence of the setting but also in the historical significance of the moment. This photograph offers a window into a bygone era, a time when the line between performer and patron blurred, and the exchange of favours was as much a part of the show as the dance itself. The image invites us to ponder the complex dynamics of power, desire, and performance that defined the world of burlesque in the 1920s. As we take in the details of this photograph - the glittering jewels, the intricate costumes, the intense expressions - we are reminded of the enduring allure of the past and the stories it holds. This image is not just a beautiful work of art, but a piece of history that invites us to explore the intricacies of human nature and the world of burlesque.
