African-American expatriate singer and dancer (1906–1975), nicknamed the “Black Venus,” who became one of the greatest sensations of Jazz-Age Paris. Incredible vintage matte-finish 8 x 10 full-length photo of Baker in a risque two-piece costume adorned with spikes, signed and inscribed in white ink “To Church, With lots of admiration and beaucoup de friendship, bien sincerement, Josephine Baker, New York, 1936.” In fine condition. Surely a shocking image for its time! Pre-certified PSA/DNA and RRAuction COA.
