Woman in costume dancing at club, Seattle, circa 1948
Order an ImageSeattle's Jackson Street jazz clubs flourished in the first half of the twentieth century, with their popularity peaking in the late 1930s through early 1950s. Seattle-born photographer Al Smith was a familiar figure in the clubs, often taking pictures of musicians and patrons, then returning the following week to sell prints.
Here, Smith photographs a woman in a belly dance costume performing for patrons at an unidentified Seattle nightclub. The band is visible in an enclosed stage in the background.
