Beauty Queen
- October 1, 2005 John writes: You posted an old BW photo of a young girl from the 1920s or 1930s (below) and asked who it is. I thought I recognized her, and sure enough, I found her in my collection of old cigarette cards. She was featured in Beauty Queen Series, Serial No. 4, inscribed on the back as follows: "Miss Lampang II was awarded second prize at the Beauty Contest held at Lampang in the year 1934." (left) Unfortunately no name. |
