Josephine Baker Correspondence with Hélène Berthelot, 1930-1947

Consists of Josephine Baker's correspondence (including a few postcards, a Christmas card, and an invitation card) to Philippe and Hélène Berthelot, though the bulk of the correspondence is addressed only to Hélène after Philippe's illness and death in 1933 to 1934. There are also four small publicity photographs (gelatin silver prints) of Baker that are glued to a mat. Most of the correspondence with Hélène Berthelot were brief letters of greeting to keep in touch, with only a few letters recounting happenings in Baker's life at greater length. In one of these letters Baker shares that she was appointed an officer of the resistance, but this letter is missing its first page. The 1946 invitation card from Josephine Baker invites Hélène Berthelot to attend the presentation ceremony of the Médaille d'Officier de la Résistance to Baker.
