Goddesses at Olympia - Living Statuary Up To Date. 1934.

For Sale is the Front Page removed from "The Tatler, January 3rd, 1934. showing a Photograph of "Goddesses at Olympia - Living Statuary Up To Date."

Whether the fore-fathers of some of us, who adopted woad- a tasteful blue- as their all-round-the-year wear, i found it warmer than the gold paint which these "Marcella Golden Statues," at the great Circus at Olympia, put on for every performance is not on  historical record. Only one fact is absolutely certain, that the Marcella gold paint is applied to far more comely persons than any of those who patronized woad ever were.  The Ancient Britons, if such pictures of them as have been evolved are reliable, were  not notable for their good looks.

Condition is Very Good.
