Jack Brown Posing in Drag
Jack Brown poses in drag facing the camera with arms outstretched and one leg lifted. He wears a large, ruffled hat and a light colored tiered dress with dark ruffles and trim. The bottom of the postcard reads: Le Cake-Walk Dansé au Nouveau Cirque LES NÉGRES. Brown performed as a female impersonator for almost a year in Paris before traveling to and performing in various countries over several years.
