EDITORS COMMENTS
Josephine Baker, the enchanting American-born French entertainer, is captured in this delightful photograph from 1931, surrounded by her beloved pet bunny rabbits and small dogs. Dressed in a casual yet elegant outfit, Baker playfully interacts with her furry companions, showcasing her playful and nurturing side. The image exudes the carefree and joyful spirit of the 1930s, a time when Baker's fame was at its peak. Baker, known for her groundbreaking dance routines and captivating performances, was a trailblazer in the entertainment industry. Her career spanned various genres, from vaudeville and cabaret to film and stage. However, her love for animals, particularly rabbits and small dogs, was a lesser-known aspect of her life. In this photograph, Baker is seen with several bunny rabbits, each one peeking out of their individual cages or hutches. The presence of many small dogs, including Pekinese, adds to the whimsical scene. Baker's playful interaction with her pets, serving tennis balls to the dogs and feeding the bunnies, highlights her affectionate and nurturing nature. This photograph offers a rare glimpse into the personal life of the legendary entertainer, revealing a side of her that was not often seen in the public eye. It serves as a reminder of the many facets of Baker's multifaceted personality and the enduring appeal of her charisma.
