This
photo print features a classic image of yesteryear: Here is a Ziegfeld
girl – actress Myrna Darby on the stage wearing a pheasant feather headdress. The vintage showgirl
image was taken by photographer Alfred Cheney Johnston, well known for taking photo portraits of Ziegfeld Follies women.
During his time with the Ziegfeld Follies, Johnston created iconic
images of the showgirls, often using soft focus and dramatic lighting
techniques to enhance their allure. His portraits showcased the glamour
and elegance of the performers, and his work became synonymous with the
Roaring Twenties era.
