Description
A classic image of Lili St. Cyr—one of the defining figures of American burlesque—captured in a poised, sculptural studio pose that leans as much toward glamour photography as it does toward pinup. The Bernard of Hollywood credit at lower right places the image within that mid-century publicity tradition, where performers were carefully staged, lit, and presented as icons rather than simply subjects.
While this appears to be a later printing, likely from the 1970s or maybe the 1980s, that actually fits the market history—images like this were continually reprinted for collectors, fans, and specialty shops long after their original creation. Originals from the 1940s–50s are scarce; these later prints filled the demand and still carry the aesthetic and presentation of the era. It’s a strong, clean example of a Lili St. Cyr image that displays exactly how she was meant to be seen.
A sharp, display-ready St. Cyr image—classic pose, classic photographer, and still doing its job.
