EDITORS COMMENTS
This caricature by Nerman brilliantly captures the essence of the legendary dance duo, Fred and Adele Astaire, during their successful run at various London theatres in the mid-1920s. The siblings, known for their electrifying performances in shows such as "Stop Flirting," were at the height of their fame during this period. Fred, with his charismatic charm and graceful movements, and Adele, with her elegant poise and infectious energy, created a magical connection on stage that left audiences enchanted. However, the twenties were a decade of change for the Astaires. In 1929, Adele retired from dancing to marry Lord Charles Cavendish, the second son of the 9th Duke of Devonshire. Fred, on the other hand, continued to dazzle audiences, this time with his new dance partner, Ginger Rogers, as they embarked on a new chapter in Hollywood. This Nerman caricature, titled "The Famous Astaires," is a testament to the unforgettable partnership between Fred and Adele during their London years. The image captures their playful and flirtatious on-stage chemistry, as well as their undeniable sibling bond. The caricature not only serves as a historical document of their successful act but also as a reminder of the magical moments they created for audiences during the 1920s. This print is a rare and valuable piece of dance and entertainment history, showcasing the iconic brother-sister duo at the height of their career. The intricate details and vibrant colors bring the Astaires to life, making this a must-have for any dance or theater enthusiast's collection.
