I can't believe it is Friday! Where does the time go?
I love this postcard that I found at my local antique store. Miss Evelyn Large. It is another birthday greeting. The card is from W&R British Manufacture. It was sent in 1929. I had better get my scanner cleaned as I see red lines on the card that are not suppose to be there. It is in perfect shape and such a beauty.

ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful find! I too wonder who Evelyn Laye was. She looks positively wistful here. Thanks for sharing! Happy PFF!
ReplyDeleteIsn't it crazy how the name Evelyn fits her soo well too! It has such a glamorous and romantic ring to it! WHat a knock out of a card Debby! Happy PFF and big hugs!
ReplyDeleteShe is beautiful. I wish movie stars and others in the public eye where still pretty and clean looking. Alas, most look like they've been drug behind a pickup truck for 30 miles before getting in front of the camera. Nice choice for PFF! :o)

that really is a gorgeous card. What a great find! Thanks for sharing :)
ReplyDeleteGreat postcard. I always wonder about the models back then, what their lives were like because I don't think modeling would have been such an acceptable career for a lot of young women. I wonder if there was a stigma attached.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card! Evelyn Laye was a gorgeous actress from England. If the card dates from 1929, she must have been 28 or 29 when her picture was taken. At 15 she already had made made her stage debut and she continued acting well into her nineties. Thanks for sharing and greetings from Amsterdam!
ReplyDeleteI think it is terribly sad that we've lost that glamorous Hollywood look of these old photographs. Beautiful card,beautiful woman.
ReplyDeleteShe is beautiful & gorgeous !!!!
