Source catalog description

This description refers to material held by Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture. Visual details below describe the original material.

A program from the Cafe Zanzibar. The program is designed so that patrons could address it to a friend and have it mailed by the business. The program is a single sheet of paper, folded in half. The front features a white box, bordered by a grayscale leopard-print background. The illustration inside the white box is of a scantily clad woman seated on a rock, wearing a flowing orange skirt and feathered headdress. Above and to the left of the woman is orange script that reads, [Home of the Stars / Program]. Below the white box, is white text against a black background. The background is roughly the shape of a rectangle with uneven edges. The text reads [CAFE ZANZIBAR / BROADWAY AT 49th / NEW YORK]. The interior pages features black text set against an orange-tinted photograph showing a line of showgirls.
