1956 Sandy Karina Colourise and Retouched

Another excellent image from the Female Impersonator section of the Queer Music Heritage Site. This scan is from a "La Carrousel" brochure (a Female Impersonation venue in Paris in the 1940s/50s/60s) from approximately 1956 in "The JD Collection". The performer is Sandy Karina a Female Impersonator I know very little else about and as always would love to here from anyone with more information.

 

The original can be found here.

I cropped the original scan, cloned and healed the text and small insert picture of the performer in male guise and then colourise the resulting.

image. As usual I present the original image to the left for comparison purposes.

 

Usual disclaimer: I freely admit to taking the image from the above site. If my work causes offense, none is intended. If you are the model and/or copyright owner and object I will gladly remove. Publication here is purely to demonstrate my artistic interpretation of the original.

 

Disclaimer: The layered colourisation work and digital enhancements to the original are all my own work and any such unauthorised use (without prior permission) for that aspect of the work will be considered a violation of my copyright. Where the original item is shown, it is done so purely for comparative purposes only.
