Club My-Oh-My New Orleans Art Print
An iconic female impersonation club located on the shore of Lake Pontchartrain, far enough outside the New Orleans city limits to avoid city rules and police harassment. Often hosted by Jimmy Callaway, it flourished from around 1947 until a fire in 1972 closed it for good.
It was a regular stop for touring drag artists, in the days when their stage names always began with "Mister" (that way they could not being arrested under laws forbidding trying to impersonate a woman).
(Thank you to https://www.queermusicheritage.com/fem-myomy.html for the amazing historical work you did on this iconic club).
Printed on high quality archival matte paper, this gorgeous vintage matchbook has been scanned in at a very high resolution and printed many times greater than their size so that you can enjoy the art in its full color, detail, and splendor.
It’s a thing of beauty.
A word about sizing!
If you have space for the 13” x 38”, I would highly recommend as the larger the print, the more dramatic and glorious. But any size will look gorgeous.
These are all frame-ready print with approx 2” all around so no need for a mat.
