Libelle. ca. 1919.
The Libelle dance hall opened in 1919 in Berlin, and only lasted a year—a terrible fire in April, 1920 burned down the entire ballroom, including the band’s instruments. Wiertz immortalizes the brief existence of this venue with a romantic image of a couple swaying to the music. Rare!
