EDITORS COMMENTS
This postcard, dated 1919, showcases Miss Gladys M. Marsh, the proud second place winner of the beauty contest held by the Daily Mirror. The photograph, taken during the 1910s in Britain, captures Gladys in an elegant and refined pose, her hand delicately placed on her waist. The image has been hand-coloured, adding a touch of vibrancy and allure to Gladys's radiant features. The contestants in this beauty competition were encouraged to showcase their unique styles and charms, as evidenced by Gladys's intricately beaded costume. The 1910s were a time of great change for women, as they began to assert their independence and challenge societal norms. Beauty contests, such as this one, provided an opportunity for women to showcase their individuality and charm. Gladys's second place finish in the competition would have been a source of pride and accomplishment for her. The Daily Mirror, a popular British newspaper at the time, would have widely publicized the results of the contest, bringing Gladys's name and face to the attention of the public. This postcard offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, providing a window into the world of beauty contests during the 1910s and the women who dared to participate in them. Miss Gladys M. Marsh's second place finish in the Daily Mirror beauty contest is a testament to her beauty, grace, and the courage to step into the spotlight.
