EDITORS COMMENTS
In this vintage photograph, we are transported back to September 1947 at Margate Lido, where an extraordinary event unfolded. The scene captures the essence of a perfect figure contest like no other. As competitors proudly display their beachwear and bikinis, there is a twist that sets this competition apart from any other beauty contest of its time. To ensure impartial judgment solely based on physical attributes rather than facial beauty, each contestant dons a whimsical facial mask. This clever addition adds an element of intrigue and humor to the proceedings as it prevents the judges from being influenced by conventional standards of attractiveness. The image showcases women exuding confidence and grace in their swimwear choices while embracing the unconventional nature of the event. It serves as a reminder that true beauty lies beyond appearances alone; it resides in self-assurance and individuality. This snapshot offers us a glimpse into an era when society was beginning to challenge traditional norms and redefine notions of femininity. It encapsulates both the spirit of competition and lightheartedness that characterized this unique moment in history. Preserved through Memory Lane Prints, this remarkable print allows us to appreciate not only fashion trends but also societal shifts during one unforgettable day at Margate Lido nearly seven decades ago.
