Beschreibung

This is a programme from Le Carrousel a landmark in transgender history as a club opened as a cabaret in 1926 under the name Chez Josephine, an homage to Josephine Baker by her partner, Guiseppe Pepito Abatino. From about 1936 onward the club became known for its female impersonators, which actually included a growing percentage of transgender women along with the stage performers. More of the club's history, together with photographs of this wonderful programme can be found via and online search. Dating from the late 50s/early 60s this little piece of history is in good condition, showing some bumps and stains, but the photographs are bright and clean, the cover embossing is there (as well as a sticker stain top middle). This is a pretty rare document which will give much pleasure to those interested in this ground-breaking venue. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers H15LC
