Digital painting from a vintage black and white casino card handed out by Miss Baker at Casino
de Paris. This is shortly before her disappointing return to America to perform in the Ziegfeld
Follies. At the time of this photo, Baker's worth had skyrocketed to a million dollars in Europe,
while those in America were experiencing the effects of the Great Depression.
