Hand-coloured bromide photographic postcard depicting Dame Gladys Cooper, seemingly not in character. She wears a dark pink top with black and yellow trim, and she looks to the side. There is a white border of imprinted roses and tulips.
The reverse is blank.
Gladys Cooper (1888-1971) was a celebrated actress of the stage and screen, with a career spanning seven decades. She was renowned for her beauty; she became a photographic model in the early 1900s and was famous for her appearance on many picture postcards of the time. Postcards were cheap and reliable and were bought not just to send messages but to keep as souvenirs.
