Gwynne, Jack. Jack Gwynne?s Chinese Robe. 1930s. Handsome robe trimmed in silk and decorated with hundreds of tiny mirrors, having a large dragon form embroidered on the front, surrounded by floral and bird designs, including the turned-back sleeves. Owned and used by magician Jack Gwynne in his vaudeville and nightclub performances, and accompanied by a vintage photo (9 x 6?) of Gwynne donning the robe in the prime of his career. Significantly worn and tattered from regular professional use. Photo by Maurice Seymour, trimmed to central image, dated 1937 on verso.
