EDITORS COMMENTS
Miss Anna Held, a renowned actress and performer of the early 20th century, is captured in this stunning photograph as she dazzles audiences with her extravagant peacock gown during her appearance in the hit musical "Follow Me at the Casino" in New York City, 1917. The theatrical production was known for its flamboyant costumes and spectacular performances, and Anna's peacock gown became a symbol of the era's opulence and glamour. The gown, which was designed to resemble the iridescent plumage of the peacock, was a true work of art. The intricately beaded and sequined fabric shimmered and sparkled under the stage lights, while the train of the gown, which was made to resemble the tail of the peacock, was spread out in all its glory behind her. Anna's regal posture and confident expression add to the overall effect, making her a true showstopper. Anna Held was a pioneer in the world of American theater and her career spanned over three decades. She began her career as a chorus girl and went on to become a leading lady in numerous productions. Her talent and charisma on stage made her a favorite among audiences, and her peacock gown in "Follow Me at the Casino" remains an iconic moment in the history of theatrical costumes. This photograph is a testament to the power of costume design and the role it plays in bringing a production to life. It also serves as a reminder of the extravagance and spectacle that was a hallmark of the early 20th century stage. Anna Held's peacock gown continues to inspire and captivate audiences even today, making it a must-see for anyone interested in the history of theater and fashion.
