EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and lively photograph captures a moment of pure joy and celebration from the 1920s. In the midst of an era known for its excess and extravagance, two transvestites and a man in black tie are seen dancing with abandon to the enchanting tunes of a saxophone player at White Bottoms pub. The atmosphere is electric as these individuals break free from societal norms, embracing their true selves while immersing themselves in the mesmerizing rhythms of jazz. The men's evening dress exudes elegance, symbolizing their belonging to high society. Pearls adorn their necks, adding a touch of glamour to this already captivating scene. The artist behind this colour block print, Sem Georges Goursat (1863-1934), masterfully captures every detail with his unique caricature style. Through bold strokes and vivid colors, he immortalizes this moment in history when self-expression was celebrated amidst an upper-class backdrop. This image serves as a reminder that the Jazz Age was not just about music; it represented freedom, liberation, and breaking away from traditional gender roles. It showcases how people found solace on dance floors where they could be themselves without judgment or prejudice. As part of the Historica Graphica Collection, this print holds historical significance by documenting an important era in cultural evolution. It stands as a testament to human resilience and our innate desire for joyous expression regardless of societal expectations or labels placed upon us.
