EDITORS COMMENTS
This delightful photograph captures the whimsical and playful spirit of the 1920s as embodied by the dazzling Madeline Gibson in her dainty yet hilarious Salmon Mayonnaise costume. The image, taken during Champagne Time at the Cochran Revue at the Trocadero in London in 1927, showcases Gibson's impeccable sense of theatricality and her ability to bring a touch of amusement to the stage. Dressed in a costume that defies description, Gibson transforms herself into an edible work of art, resembling a salmon swimming in a bed of mayonnaise. The intricate details of the costume, from the textured scales to the delicate garnishes, are a testament to the skill and creativity of the costume designers of the era. As she poses for the camera, Gibson exudes an air of confidence and charm, her eyes sparkling with mischief and amusement. The glass of champagne in her hand adds to the overall sense of indulgence and decadence, making this an image that is as visually appealing as it is historically intriguing. The Salmon Mayonnaise costume is a prime example of the elaborate and original fancy dress costumes that were a staple of the 1920s revues and variety shows. It is a reminder of a time when theatrics and humor were at the forefront of entertainment, and when performers like Madeline Gibson could captivate audiences with their unique and amusing antics. This photograph is not only a fascinating glimpse into the past but also a celebration of the creativity and imagination that defined the Roaring Twenties.
