Marvelous lingerie/boudoir/dressing room image by Heinrich Traut of Cabaret performer Mary Irber.
Fraulein Irber performed in Berlin, Salzburg and Munich, with a theatrical troupe put together by a Joseph Hunkele, who according to Peter Jelavich in his "Munich and Theatrical Modernism," "was a cultural parasite of the first order."
Morality groups and police agents were a constant presence at performances, and finally, when several witnesses testified at court that Fraulein Irber "imitates the movements of sexual intercourse while singing some of her songs," Hunkele's theatrical concession was revoked.
This publicity apparently did Mary Irber's popularity little harm, probably boosted it, since images of her in varying states of undress, by photographers such as Georg Gerlach and Heinrich (Henry) Traut abound.
A Classic dressing room, or boudoir, image in very nice condition.
