This
photo print features the 1920's dancer and actress Josephine Baker
sitting on a tiger rug with her shadow looming dramatically behind her.
Baker's exotic
beauty and sensual appeal generated nicknames like "Black
Venus," "Black Pearl" and "Creole Goddess." Besides singing, dancing
and acting in movies, Baker worked with the Red Cross in WWII. She
also worked as a spy for the French Resistance. She was an amazing
person.
