A fascinating shot of Gresley A3 4-6-2 60105 "Victor Wild" departing York with a down express - c.1955.

 

The fascination comes from the extent of goods traffic in the yard (Branches Yard?) to the right of the "Pacific" and even the roof of the roundhouse which formed part of Yorks (South) shed is visible.

Italian postcard by Eliocromia Zacchetti e C. Milano, no. A74. Josephine Baker by Nino Za. Collection: Marlene Pilaete.

 

Josephine Baker (1906-1975) was well-known as singer and dancer. In 1925 she became an instant success in Paris, because of her erotic dance. She also performed in a handful silent and early sound films, La Sirene des Tropiques (1927), Zouzou (1934) and La princesse TamTam (1935).

 

Josephine Baker was born Frida Josephine McDonald in 1906, in St. Louis, Missouri, US. Her mother, Carrie McDonald, was a laundress, and her father, Eddie Carson, a vaudeville drummer. Josephine dropped out of school at the age of 12, and first danced for the public on the streets of St. Louis for nickels and dimes. At 15, she was recruited for the St. Louis Chorus vaudeville show, and she married a Pullman porter named William Howard Baker. Two years later she left him and ran away from St. Louis, feeling there was too much racial discrimination in the city. She headed to New York City and during the Harlem Renaissance, she performed at the Plantation Club and in the chorus of the popular Broadway revues 'Shuffle Along' (1921) and 'The Chocolate Dandies' (1924). She performed as the last dancer in a chorus line, a position in which the dancer traditionally performed in a comic manner, as if they were unable to remember the dance, until the encore, at which point they would not only perform it correctly but with additional complexity. Josephine Baker was then billed as 'the highest-paid chorus girl in vaudeville.'

 

In 1925, Josephine Baker opened in Paris in 'La revue negre' at the Théatre des Champs-Élysées, where she became an instant success for her erotic dancing and for appearing practically nude on stage. After a successful tour of Europe, she reneged on her contract and returned to France to star at the Folies Bergères, setting the standard for her future acts. She performed the 'Danse sauvage', wearing a costume consisting of a skirt made of a string of artificial bananas. She quickly became a favourite of the French, and her fame grew. Baker performed in a handful of silent and early sound films, including La Sirene des Tropiques/Siren of the Tropics (Henri Étiévant, Mario Nalpas, 1927) at the side of Pierre Batcheff, Zouzou (Marc Allégret, 1934) opposite Jean Gabin, and La princesse Tam Tam/Princess Tam-Tam (Edmond T. Gréville, 1935) with Albert Préjean. At this time she also scored her greatest song hit, 'J'ai deux amours' (1931). In 1937 she renounced her American citizenship and became a citizen of France. During World War II she served in the French Resistance for which she would receive the highest French military honour, the Croix de Guerre.

 

Josephine Baker had many ups and downs during her career. Although based in France, Baker supported the American Civil Rights Movement during the 1950s. In 1951 the Stork Club in New York City had refused to serve her because she was black. This led to a confrontation with columnist Walter Winchell. Later, she was falsely accused of being a communist sympathizer, and the FBI started a file on her. During the McCarthy era, she was told that she was no longer welcome in the United States. In France, she was made a Chevalier of the Légion d'honneur, France's highest honour, in 1961. In the late 1960s, she began having financial difficulties and stopped performing in 1968. Princess Grace offered her a home in Monaco when she learned of Josephine's financial problems. At the request of Princess Grace, she performed at Monaco's summer ball in 1974 and was a great success. That same year, she staged a week of performances in New York and called the show An Evening with Josephine Baker. Baker had just begun a Paris revue celebrating her half-century on the stage, when on 10 April 1975 she was stricken and went into a coma. She died without regaining consciousness. Her funeral was held in Paris, and she was buried in Monaco. Josephine Baker adopted 12 children, partly because she couldn't have any of her own and partly because she believed in equality for all, no matter what nationality, religion, or race.
