No publisher, place or date. Presumed Condor Nightclub, San Francisco circa 1966. Roughly 11 ¾ by 9 inches when folded. Unfolds into 8 panels. A promotional work featuring famed topless dancer Carol Doda, and her work at the Condor nightclub in San Francisco. Four panels feature reproduced press clippings from 1965 about Doda's show, with the other four panels primarily featuring photographs of Carol Doda performing. One photo depicts the Condor's owners. Carol Doda popularized topless dancing in clubs, being one of the first noted performers to do so. She started her topless act in 1964. In 1969 she changed her act to be entirely nude, which she performed until it was outlawed in 1972. The Condor was opened in 1958, but became most popular once it started featuring Doda's topless act. It was added to the San Francisco Business Legacy in 2022, recognized in part for pioneering topless and bottomless entertainment. GOOD condition. Moderate uneven toning, some soiling and a few small stains to the exterior. Faint vertical fold crease present. Minor creasing and wrinkling. Small chip at the center fore edge.
