"In 2021, after the death of talking woman and dancer Lorraine Lee, I received the photograph collection of her late husband, comic Dick Richards. Dick began working in burlesque in the late 1930s. The couple often worked together for Harold Minsky; they had been married for 35 years when Dick died. For nearly 30 years Lorraine moved these photographs around with her after his death, so you know they meant a great deal to her. This is a simple book with very few words and 287 photographs; I hope you enjoy it."
