couverture souple. Editions Francis Salabert | Paris 1923 | 27 x 34.90 cm | une feuille rempliée | Edition originale de cette partition chant et piano illustrée sur le premier plat d'un dessin en couleurs de Roger de Valerio. Bien que réalisée par un artiste français, dans une veine expressionniste, la couverture reprend l'imagerie stéréotypée des Afro-américains, véhiculée, depuis la guerre de Sécession, par la caricature raciste américaine. Pourtant, en 1923, cette violente stigmatisation avilissante et essentialisante fondée sur l'idéologie d'une hiérarchie ethnique, est facétieusement détournée par les noirs américains notamment à travers la culture du Jazz and Blues et par quelques grandes figures artistiques dont Joséphine Baker. Ainsi, dans sa Revue Nègre se réapproprie-t-elle avec humour et sensualité la représentation dégradante dont les noirs sont victimes. Il est alors parfois difficile dans les représentations de la négritude de ces années folles de distinguer la frontière entre la caricature raciste et sa réinterprétation moderne moquant le mythe racial. Toutefois, ce nouveau fox trot de Franck Silver et Irving Cohn qui fait alors un tabac aux Etats-Unis et que le magazine Billboard placera en 1948 dans sa liste Fifty Years of Song Hits, n'a aucun rapport avec la négritude. Il est inspiré d'une réplique d'un épicier grec suite à la pénurie due à la rouille de la banane. Totalement inadéquate, l'image de Valerio est inspirée par la simple évocation de la banane associée à l'Afrique pour le public français et ainsi à la « sauvagerie » fantasmée du noir africain. Cette réinterprétation colonialiste du cliché racial se distingue de l'imagerie américaine, notamment par le dénuement des personnages, les boucles d'oreilles des enfants et leur chevelure éparse. On retrouvera cette même iconographie dans les bande-dessinée franco-belge, dont Tintin au Congo quelques années plus tard. Très bel exemplaire de cette partition originale française d'un des grands succès du Fox-Trot, d'une grande qualité graphique en dépit de son thème raciste. | [ENGLISH DESCRIPTION FOLLOWS] First edition of this vocal and piano score illustrated on the first cover with a color drawing by Roger de Valerio. Although created by a French artist in an expressionist vein, the cover reproduces the stereotypical imagery of African Americans that had been conveyed since the Civil War through American racist caricature. Yet in 1923, this violent, degrading and essentializing stigmatization based on the ideology of ethnic hierarchy was facetiously subverted by Black Americans, notably through Jazz and Blues culture and by several major artistic figures including Josephine Baker. Thus, in her Revue Nègre, she humorously and sensually reappropriated the degrading representation of which Black people were victims. It was then sometimes difficult in the representations of blackness during these roaring twenties to distinguish the boundary between racist caricature and its modern reinterpretation mocking racial myth. However, this new fox trot by Frank Silver and Irving Cohn, which was then a huge hit in the United States and which Billboard magazine would place in 1948 on its list of Fifty Years of Song Hits, had no connection to blackness. It was inspired by a remark from a Greek grocer following the shortage due to banana blight. Completely inadequate, Valerio's image was inspired by the simple evocation of the banana associated with Africa for the French public and thus with the fantasized "savagery" of the Black African. This colonialist reinterpretation of the racial cliché differs from American imagery, notably through the nakedness of the characters, the children's earrings and their disheveled hair. This same iconography would be found in Franco-Belgian comics, including Tintin in the Congo a few years later. A very handsome copy of this original French score of one of the great Fox-Trot successes, of great graphic quality despite its racist theme. *. …
