Josephine Baker electrified Paris in 1926 with erotic dancing and a skimpy skirt with phallic bananas, shown in the programme for her first appearance (above, left), and a glamorized version by Paul Colin (below, left). An anti-Josephine Baker cartoon, from Le Grand Guignol, summer 1927 (below, right).

In Nora, the Monkey who became a Woman, popular novelist Felicien Champsaur co-opted Baker as the model for his heroine, offspring of a woman and an ape (above, left and right). Emmanuelle Arsan (below left), photographed by Pierre Monlinier, and Monlinier himself, in his favourite drag (below right).
