EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment in history, showcasing the winners of a beauty contest for British women workers during the First World War. Organized by the Daily Mirror newspaper, this contest aimed to celebrate and honor the contributions of these remarkable women on the home front. The image portrays four stunning portraits of the winners, each representing different professions and regions across Britain. Miriam Sabbage, a bank clerk turned nurse from Norwood in London; Gladys Marsh, a clerk at the Air Ministry in Hampstead; Sybil Wise, a volunteer canteen worker from Forest Hill; and G Cecil Stock, hailing from Sandwich in Kent. These women symbolize strength, resilience, and dedication as they played their part in supporting their country during wartime. Their beauty shines through not only externally but also internally as they selflessly served their communities. The photograph serves as an important historical artifact that provides insight into life on the home front during one of humanity's darkest times. It reminds us of the significant role that women played during World War I and highlights their often-overlooked contributions to society. Preserved within a private collection with additional information sourced from Our Times Illustrated magazine published in 1919, this image offers us glimpses into early 20th-century Britain while honoring these extraordinary individuals who made such an impact on their nation's war effort.
