EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, we are transported back to the glamorous world of 1930s beauty pageants. The image showcases Miss Joan Edwards, a radiant 17-year-old cinema usherette from Hendon, who has just been crowned as the coveted Beauty Queen of Finchley. Against her father's wishes, Miss Edwards courageously entered the contest without his knowledge, defying societal norms and embracing her own dreams. Her youthful charm is evident in every aspect of this picture - from her perfectly styled curls cascading down her shoulders to the fashionable attire that accentuates her natural beauty. The monochrome aesthetic adds a timeless quality to the image, allowing us to appreciate not only Miss Edwards' physical attractiveness but also the historical significance of this moment captured on film. It serves as a reminder of an era caught between two devastating wars when people sought solace in celebrating youth and elegance. This photograph is part of Europeana Photography's collection by TopFoto. co. uk and was originally taken by Planet News for press purposes. Its inclusion in this archive ensures that future generations can admire not only its artistic value but also gain insight into the cultural ideals and aspirations prevalent during that period
