Barbette was a great celebrity in Paris during the Twenties and early Thirties; Cocteau, among others, was quite fascinated by him. I don't know where any of these photographs might be on display, but they are certainly in many museum collections.
La muse texane de Cocteau, Babette était son obsession. Célèbre et établie dans les boîtes de nuit et les salons d'artistes de Paris, Babette a suivi les traces de Julian Eltinge et de John Lind. Babette était également un artiste aérien accompli qui a captivé le public dans toute l'Europe. -Beau Mec à Deauville
I remember Man Ray very well, but I don't remember Barbette at all. Do we know where these photos are displayed?
