EDITORS COMMENTS
Smiling Girl," is a captivating image from the 1930s that continues to evoke a sense of joy and innocence. Circa 1939, this photograph was taken during an era of significant social and economic change, yet the young girl in the image seems untouched by the world around her. Her broad, radiant smile and carefree expression convey a sense of happiness and optimism that transcends time. The girl's outfit, with its simple, yet elegant dress and ribbon in her hair, is reminiscent of the fashion trends of the 1930s. The soft focus and warm tones of the photograph add to its timeless appeal. This image was part of the "March of the Women" collection, a series of photographs that documented the lives of women during this period. The "Smiling Girl" photograph has been used in various contexts over the years, but its original purpose remains a mystery. It could have been taken for personal use, or it may have been intended for use in advertising or editorial publications. Regardless, its enduring appeal is a testament to the power of a simple, genuine smile. This photograph is a beautiful example of the art of photography during the 1930s, a time when the medium was rapidly evolving and gaining popularity. It is a reminder of the simple joys and pleasures of life, and a reminder that even in the midst of challenging times, there is always reason to smile." This photograph is part of the vast collection of historical images available at Mary Evans Prints Online. It is a valuable resource for researchers, historians, and anyone with an interest in the history of photography and the social history of the 1930s. Hubert Davey, the photographer, captured this moment in time, and it continues to inspire and delight us today.
