EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking cover image from The Sketch magazine, dated June 17, 1928, features a captivating portrait of Edythe A. Baker, an American boogie-woogie pianist, and her husband Gerard ("Pop") d Erlanger. The photograph, taken by renowned society artist Olive Snell, showcases Edythe's bold and expressive style as she sits confidently at the piano, her fingers poised above the keys. Edythe Baker, born in 1899, was a trailblazing musician of the 1920s jazz scene. Her raw, energetic boogie-woogie style set her apart from her contemporaries and earned her a dedicated following. Her husband, Gerard d Erlanger, was also a prominent figure in the music industry, known for his successful vaudeville acts and later, his work as a talent agent. The elegant and chic design of the magazine cover complements the dynamic energy of the portrait, transporting us back to the Roaring Twenties and a time when jazz music reigned supreme. The use of bold typography and the simple yet sophisticated color palette further emphasizes the sophistication and glamour of the era. This iconic image not only captures the essence of Edythe Baker's musical talent but also offers a glimpse into the vibrant and exciting world of jazz music during the 1920s.
