Vintage 'Shower of Stars' Musical Performance Photograph

This is a black and white gelatin silver print photograph depicting a live stage performance under a 'Shower of Stars' banner. The image captures a mid-20th-century variety show or musical revue, likely dating from the 1950s or 1960s based on the clothing and stage styling. The composition features five female dancers in patterned two-piece costumes standing stage left, while a jazz ensemble including an upright bassist, a singer in a dark suit, and several musicians with percussion instruments (including congas with tribal patterns) perform stage right. The background is a dark curtain adorned with numerous small white stars. The photograph appears to be printed on glossy paper with a white border. Condition issues include visible surface glare from an external light source during the taking of this photo, some curling at the corners, and minor edge wear consistent with age. There are no immediate signatures or maker's marks visible on the front of the print. The craftsmanship reflects typical professional publicity or event photography of the era, capturing dynamic movement and stage lighting. Other photographs are partially visible underneath, suggesting this is part of a larger collection or archive of entertainment history.
