Magician Cardini wowed audiences with his sleight of hand, leaving them in awe and disbelief. Le Smart Carman adorned only in diamonds by Bluze, as depicted in Auguste Roubille's print, exuded opulence and sophistication. The ODEON CASINO POSTER from 1920 transports us to a glamorous era filled with excitement and entertainment. German artist Walter Schnackenberg beautifully captures the allure of this iconic venue. Jos Chamberlain takes us on a whimsical journey with a French postcard featuring a frog dressed as a human – an amusing twist on reality. Flo Dixie's performances at the music hall as a male impersonator challenged societal norms and pushed boundaries. Gilbert & Sullivan revolutionized musical theater, their caricatures immortalizing their genius collaboration. Picture No. 12479624 showcases their timeless legacy.
