EDITORS COMMENTS
This silhouette postcard, dated 1947, presents an utterly bizarre and enchanting scene. The central focus is a man in a suit, playing the organ grinder, accompanied by an agile and lively dancing monkey. The unusual tableau is further enhanced by the presence of a young couple, their silhouettes delicately outlined against the dusky evening sky. The lady, draped in the sheerest of negligees or nightgowns, reveals a shapely figure, while her companion dons a formal attire, seemingly out of place in this exotic and risqué setting. The intriguing interplay of light and shadow, along with the erotic and exotic undertones, evoke a sense of mystery and allure that transports us back to the sultry evenings of the 1940s. This peculiar street entertainment scene, with its unusual juxtaposition of characters and attire, continues to intrigue and delight, offering a glimpse into a bygone era.
