3 photographs in a triptych. The each show Amy Spencer, a black 1920s burlesque dancer. The photo shows a close up of her makeup and short bob and pearl necklace. She has dark lips, dark eyes, and eye brows. The center photo is a far away photo of Spencer, lifting her ruffled can-can skirt up like 'wings', her arms stretching straight out. The right photo is another close up of Spencer, flapper bob, pearl necklace, and a large ostrich feather boa, hiding her nude chest.
Happy Black History Month! Amy Spencer was "The Lady with the Fan"! The inspiration for Cab Calloway's infamous song. Did she invent the fan dance before Sally Rand?
