EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the essence of "Little Egypt" an exotic dancer who became the stellar attraction at the 1893 Columbian Exposition in Chicago, Illinois. Standing tall and confident, she exudes a sense of mystery and allure that was characteristic of late 19th-century entertainment. Dressed in a mesmerizing costume that reflects her exotic persona, Little Egypt's performance is frozen in time through this timeless portrait. Her graceful stance suggests a mastery of movement as she captivated audiences with her dance. The Columbian Exposition was a grand fair held to celebrate the 400th anniversary of Christopher Columbus' arrival in America. Amidst all its wonders and innovations, it was Little Egypt who stole the show with her enchanting performance. This photograph not only serves as a visual record but also offers us a glimpse into turn-of-the-century American culture. It showcases how women like Little Egypt challenged societal norms by embracing their sensuality on stage. Preserved by Granger Art on Demand from The Granger Collection, this print allows us to appreciate the beauty and talent that once graced the stages of yesteryears. It reminds us that even amidst changing times, there will always be room for those who dare to push boundaries and leave an indelible mark on history.
