The Art of Tease
The world of burlesque has always relied on posters to entice patrons and immortalise it's greatest stars. Here, over 100 years of burlesque posters are collected with over 150 colour examples. From rare 1880s posters for the legendary Follies Bergère to the hip silk-screened prints of the modern burlesque revival, this is a celebration of great graphic design and the women who inspired it. So, hunker down and feast your eyes as you take a wild ride through this bra-busting book of burlesque artwork, with an introduction from the man behind the curtain, the one and only, Chaz Royal. HERE.
