EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait captures the essence of the jazz age and the excitement of the 1920s as embodied by the elegant and enigmatic figure of Mrs Jack Carlton, an exhibition dancer from London. The photograph, taken in 1922, shows Mrs Carlton in her element, poised and confident as she gazes directly at the camera with a hint of mischief in her eyes. Her vibrant red lips and smoky eyes are accentuated by the dramatic lighting, while her intricately beaded and sequined costume shimmers in the soft focus of the image. Mrs Carlton's dance career flourished during the Roaring Twenties, a time when cabarets and nightclubs became the social hubs of the city. Her performances at various exhibitions and events showcased her exceptional talent and charisma, making her a popular figure in London's vibrant jazz scene. The photograph is a testament to the allure and glamour of the era, as well as the transformative power of dance and the arts. It invites us to imagine the world of jazz music, cabarets, and ballroom dancing that Mrs Carlton and her contemporaries inhabited, and to be transported back in time to an age of creativity, innovation, and self-expression. The photograph is a rare and valuable document of the past, offering a glimpse into the world of exhibition dancing in the 1920s and the enduring legacy of jazz culture. It is a reminder of the rich history of dance and the arts, and the continued influence they have on our lives today.
