About this Item

Original photograph. 8.6 x 10.4 cm., b&w, pasted on an old white paper album leaf, signed and inscribed as a duo on the bottom right. N.p. [Great Britain], n.d., late 1920s. £125.00 Photo in very good condition, mount a bit shabby from rough slicing out. Surely quite rare, though postcards and posters seem to crop up in institutional collections. Depicts the Vaudevillian style act in the ring and punching each other rather stiffly. They are wear- ing stripy short dresses, white shorts and possibly flapper hairstyles. They seem to have become a trapeze act post war, presumably when the female boxing craze and vaudeville died, even appearing at the Royal Palladium, London and maybe also the Ed Sullivan show in the U.S.A. 218603.
