EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the stunning Myriam Valey in all her beauty. Taken around 1938, this image is a cigarette card from the Modern Beauties series, issued by the British-American Tobacco Company. Myriam stands tall and confident, exuding an air of elegance that was characteristic of women during this era. Dressed in a fashionable swimsuit of the time, she strikes a pose that perfectly captures the essence of 1930s fashion. Her swimming costume accentuates her curves while maintaining a sense of modesty, reflecting societal norms of the period. The monochrome aesthetic adds to the timeless allure of this collectible print. As one gazes at Myriam's portrait, they are transported back to a different era - an age when glamour and sophistication were highly valued. Myriam Valey herself becomes more than just a model; she embodies an entire concept - that of femininity and grace personified. A true sex symbol for her time, she represents an idealized version of womanhood that continues to captivate audiences even today. This print serves as both a historical artifact and a work of art. It encapsulates not only the fashion trends but also provides insight into societal ideals prevalent during this pivotal moment in history. The print collector who possesses this piece holds within their hands not just an image but also a glimpse into another world - one where beauty transcends time and leaves its mark on generations to come.
