Notes
The following description was provided by James Gardiner: "Two men in amateur drag having a fun time despite their dreadful amateurish costumes which appear to be a pastiche of the Russian Ballet styles which had such an influence on fashion in the years immediately before World War One . The fringing, layering and ‘Harem’ pants as worn here were very much a feature of those styles."
This work is untitled: the title has been supplied by the cataloguer.
