Women in American entertainment scrapbook, primarily 1950s, documenting the public beauty, sexuality, celebrity, and performing identities of burlesque dancers, pinup models, actresses, and other women whose images circulated widely in postwar popular culture. The compiler places women from burlesque, Hollywood, modeling, nightclub performance, and glamour photography, emphasizing the female performer as both entertainer and object of fascination during a decade often associated with more restrictive ideals of domestic femininity. Striptease figures including Gypsy Rose Lee, Ann Corio, Margie Hart, Lush Thrush, and Earl Moran pinups, as well as more prominent Hollywood figures such as Jane Russell, Rita Hayworth, and Veronica Lake, connects the scrapbook to overlapping worlds of striptease, film, theatrical performance, publicity, and pinup culture. Its concentration on women displaying their bodies through costume, movement, pose, and theatrical persona places the album within the cultural prehistory of the sexual liberation associated with the 1960s, when changing attitudes toward contraception, obscenity, female desire, and women's autonomy increasingly challenged older limits on public expressions of sexuality. Scrapbook containing over 75 printed photographic and illustrated clippings on 18 large pages, approximately 9 x 12 inches, primarily 1950s, in cord bound red board covers. The pages contain magazine and newspaper photographs of women in bathing suits, evening gowns, lingerie, theatrical costumes, dance attire, and elaborate burlesque dress, ranging from formal Hollywood to stage performances and photographs emphasizing dance, costume, legs, and the body in motion. Burlesque and nightclub imagery includes feathered costumes, revealing stage dress, comic and theatrical routines, and performers photographed in settings that present sexuality as part of professional entertainment rather than private life; other pages move into film publicity, glamour portraiture, fashion, and models posed for the mass market. Several leaves arrange multiple images of a single woman, creating small visual dossiers on individual performers, while full page clippings give others the scale of magazine features. A handwritten index at the front organizes the contents by performer and page, The index turns the scrapbook into an organized record of female entertainers, including famous Hollywodd stars but also many lesser know Burlesque and nightclub entertainers. The scrapbook was created at a transitional point in American sexual culture. Striptease had become the defining element of twentieth century American burlesque, producing nationally recognizable performers such as Gypsy Rose Lee and Ann Corio, while Hollywood publicity departments, illustrated magazines, and pinup photography carried related forms of stylized female sexuality into a much larger audience. The women gathered here therefore occupy different positions within the entertainment economy, from actresses whose glamour images accompanied mainstream film careers to performers whose professional identities depended directly on bodily display, costume, teasing revelation, and control of an audience's gaze. Their proximity within one album records how thoroughly these forms had begun to overlap before the social transformations of the 1960s gave female sexual autonomy a more explicit political and cultural vocabulary. Some toning to the scrapbook leaves with scattered edge wear, small tears, and chipping; covers rubbed and worn at extremities, with binding cord retained. Overall good condition. A concentrated record of 1950s popular culture celebrating women as entertainers, glamour figures, and erotic performers at the threshold of the changes in female sexuality and public self presentation that would become increasingly visible during.…

Female vaudeville, burlesque, dance, and showgirl photo archive, circa 1900 to 1957, documenting the changing public presentation of women's sexuality and performance across more than half a century of American popular entertainment. The photographs follow female performers from turn of the century theatrical portraiture through burlesque and revue culture to the increasingly revealing costumes and highly controlled publicity imagery of the midcentury showgirl. Performers appear not simply as models but as professional entertainers whose costumes, poses, bodies, and theatrical personas were reproduced for audiences beyond the theaters in which they worked. Images associated with "Earl Carroll's Vanities," "The Redheads," and a "Las Vegas Show Girl" connect the group to the commercial entertainment culture that transformed the female stage performer into a widely circulated figure of glamour and sexuality. Photo archive of 25 photographs and postcards, comprising two large silver gelatin publicity photographs and 23 real photo and lithographic postcards, ranging from approximately 3.5 x 5 to 8 x 10 inches, circa 1900 to 1957. The earliest images present women in the visual vocabulary of vaudeville and theatrical studio portraiture, posed in elaborate dresses, fringed costumes, stockings, dance attire, and increasingly abbreviated stage clothing. An early photographic postcard depicts a performer identified in the image as "No. 19 Ramus," while a studio portrait inscribed "1927 'Dimples'" shows its subject in a beaded and fringed theatrical costume. Other postcards present dancers in feathered headdresses, bathing and chorus costumes, theatrical gowns, and poses emphasizing legs, movement, and bodily display. Later lithographic cards explicitly identify the worlds into which this imagery developed, including "Earl Carroll's Vanities" and "Las Vegas Show Girl." The two large silver gelatin publicity photographs bring the sequence into midcentury professional entertainment promotion. One portrays three women identified as "The Redheads" in coordinated costumes, fishnet stockings, heels, and towering feathered headpieces; another presents Barbara Nichols in the 1957 Columbia film "Pal Joey" as the showgirl Gladys. The archive spans the transformation of an entertainment in which vaudeville, musical revue, burlesque, nightclub performance, Hollywood publicity, and eventually the Las Vegas showgirl repeatedly redefined the boundaries of permissible female display. Burlesque made striptease and teasing revelation increasingly central to its twentieth century identity, while large scale revues such as Earl Carroll's productions turned elaborate costuming and the display of female bodies into defining components of theatrical spectacle. By the postwar period, the same visual vocabulary had moved across nightclub entertainment and pinup culture to television entertainment and celebrity. The sequence records changes in fashion and permissible exposure while preserving a striking continuity in the performer's control of pose, costume, gesture, and theatrical persona, locating midcentury showgirl culture within a much longer history of women making public careers from dance, glamour, comedy, spectacle, and sexual display. Light to moderate handling wear, toning, occasional creasing, edge wear, and scattered surface marks, with some early postcards showing greater age related wear; publicity photographs remain well defined. Overall in very good condition. A half century visual record of the female entertainer as vaudeville performer, dancer, burlesque artist, chorus girl, glamour figure, and showgirl, tracing the theatrical and commercial forms through which women's public sexual presentation entered American mass culture.
