    Description

    GREAT ADVERTISING, GREAT PHOTOS INCLUDES NUDES THAT I CAN ONLY PRESUME WERE PERFORMANCE PHOTOS.
    I could find no date of publication, but others listing similar ones have identified a year of 1953.  The last page with some copyright information notes a "2e Edition".  Textured front board with a small piece missing top left (that small piece was present inside front cover).  Solidly staple-bound except for center 4-page leaf in color which was detached - see listing photo.  Unpaginated, looks to be about 30 pages.
    RARE AND INTERESTING!!
    From Wikipedia:
    "The Folies Bergère (French pronunciation: ​[fɔ.li bɛʁ.ʒɛʁ]) is a cabaret music hall, located in Paris, France. Located at 32 rue Richer in the 9th Arrondissement, the Folies Bergère was built as an opera house by the architect Plumeret. It opened on 2 May 1869 as the Folies Trévise, with light entertainment including operettas, comic opera, popular songs, and gymnastics. It became the Folies Bergère on 13 September 1872, named after nearby rue Bergère. The house was at the height of its fame and popularity from the 1890s' Belle Époque through the 1920s.
    Revues featured extravagant costumes, sets and effects, and often nude women. In 1926, Josephine Baker, an African-American expatriate singer, dancer and entertainer, caused a sensation at the Folies Bergère by dancing in a costume consisting of a skirt made of a string of artificial bananas and little else."
