[Baker, Josephine. (1906–1975)]. 1926 Issue of "Paris Plaisirs" - WITH AN EARLY PHOTOGRAPHIC SPREAD OF JOSEPHINE BAKER.
Fantastic 1926 issue of the Art Deco magazine Paris Plaisirs, stunningly designed, including an early two-page spread of the legendary "Black Venus." Baker is shown in several different exotic topless outfits and poses, as she appeared in the Folies Bergère. The issue also includes a similarly titillating spread of dancer Jacquy Fragsy, a pink-boa-draped Maria Ley on the cover, as well as several further beautiful portraits of showgirls and dozens of sexy drawings. Nº 50, August 1926. 20 pp. Damage to the spine, with some internal tape repairs, and light wear to the edges; overall in fine condition. 9.75 x 12.5 inches (31 x 23 cm).
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."
