Anonyme: Le Cake Walk, Switzerland ca. 1903
A very funny snapshot!
This couple does a crazy dance together. The man is holding a walking stick, the lady a branch. On the back the photo is entitled "Le Cake Walk". The cakewalk is a dance originally danced by black American slaves. The dance is originally a satirical imitation of formal European dances and is characterized by the exaggerated movements of the dancers. The Cakewalk may have developed as a subtle mockery of the mannered dances of white slaveholders.
Dated Septembre 24, 1903 in Baumaroche sur Vevey, Switzerland.
ca. 9,5 x 12 cm
