1st printing. By David Delamare. In 1984 wealthy eccentric Alphonse Zukor shocked European society by mounting an illegal underground cabaret - an alphabetic series of erotic acts featuring beautiful nude women with exotic animals. The bizarre performances changed the world by attracting and influencing such luminaries as Thomas Edison, Sigmund Freud, and Igor Stravinsky. In this lavish volume, artist David Delamare deftly recreates each of the cabaret's darkly alluring show cards. A living mermaid, a fire-breathing tiger tamer, the knife-throwing Donatello twins, and a Houdini inspired escape from an octopus tank are but a few of the twenty-six seductive acts captured in these sensual sepia tone paintings. An expert showman, Delamare spins a fantastical tale of creative obsession and singular vision to lure audience members into his own smoky kaleidoscopic world. At curtain's close they are left wondering whether they've witnessed an actual slice of history or an artist's sleight of hand. Softcover, 10-in. x 13-in., 64 pages, B&W. Cover price $24.95.
