Josephine Baker behind the scenes at a summer gala at Sporting d'Eté, Monte Carlo 1961.

Behind the scenes at a summer gala at Sporting d'Eté, Monte Carlo, in 1961, the legendary entertainer Josephine Baker smiles warmly for the camera. Dressed in a spectacular showgirl costume, she wears a large, elaborate headdress of white feathers, a glittering, heavily beaded gown, and long, sheer gloves. An elegantly dressed companion, her arms crossed in a playful pose, stands smiling by her side.
