Two women at the Black and Tan nightclub, Seattle, August 4, 1945
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.
On this occasion, Smith photographed two women with dice and poker chips, possibly for gambling games, at a table at the Black and Tan nightclub. One of the women has been identified as Bee Edge.
