I’ve been seeing this photo circulating around as the early Drag Queen from Washington D.C., William Dorsey Swann (1858-unknown)...but if you actually do some intense research you’ll realize that they’re aren’t any photos of him..

That’s a 1903 French postcard advertising another African-American Drag Queen, Jack Brown (March 5, 1875-unknown) from Petersburg, Virginia. From 1901-1921, Brown toured across France, England and the Russian Empire. He was a popular fixture at Paris’ Jardin de Paris cabaret. Image
This 1903 postcard (featuring Jack Brown & Charles Gregory) was apart of a series advertising a troupe of Americans, known as “Joyeux Nègre”, both Black & White, performing at Paris’ Cirque Nouveau. The show was also filmed by the famous Lumiere Brothers around December 1902. Image
