La Boheme: An Original Egyptian Revival Flapper Photo


If you type in Egyptian Revival and flapper photo, let's just say you get a fair amount of results.  What interests me about this photo are a few things: one it is mine, an original photograph and number two- look at her so moody, so deco, and so so Egyptian revival and bohemian..... The hits don't stop there, I found her at an estate sale on a bedroom dresser... sort of falling out of an old original little wooden frame.  No she is not a postcard, but a snapshot.  Maybe she was an actress? 

Antique Photograph, circa 1920s. Woman in bohemian Egyptian revival attire. Sarara Vintage, rights reserved.
Alas, until now nothing has surfaced about her identity. Possibly she was just a family member, with an attitude!  Whoever she is, I think you will enjoy her dark deco charm.  This comes directly from my archive and maybe the only one surviving image. If anyone knows who she is, let me know- actress or not.  For now here is a found and salvaged historical 1920s image.
