Cupid and Psyche - 1897

Original dance by the Leander Sisters, performed at the Sutro Baths, San Francisco, California in 1897 by Thomas A. Edison, Inc. One is dressed as Cupid, with the accompanying wings, bow and arrow; the other represents Psyche. The dance is full of grace and action and the figures show life size and very clear. The costumes are white and show up in beautiful contrast to the dark background, which is composed of bathers in bathing costumes and two tiers of spectators.
