ENID LOWE : VINTAGE GLAMOUR PORTRAIT : BY GEORGE MANNELL : PRETTY ACTRESS : RARE

The photo postcard features Enid Lowe (1908-1994) in an elegant and theatrical pose. She was a British actress known for her work in television and theater, with notable appearances in productions such as “BBC Sunday-Night Theatre” (1950), “Educated Evans” (1957), and “Loot” (1970). In 1941, she performed in the musical “London Rhapsody” at The London Palladium. This postcard is a testament to Enid Lowe’s beauty. She is dressed in period-style attire. Her outfit includes a lavish gown with a soft, flowing texture, possibly made of silk or satin, adorned with delicate lace and ribbon details. The bodice has a gentle scalloped trim, and she wears long gloves, adding to the refinement of her look. Her accessories are striking—she wears an elaborate wide-brimmed hat with a voluminous, gathered crown, likely made of soft fabric. Her jewelry is ornate, consisting of large, dangling earrings with multiple tiers and a matching necklace of pearl-like beads. These accessories enhance the regal and theatrical nature of the portrait. Enid Lowe’s facial expression is poised and slightly enigmatic. Her dark, wavy hair is styled in an elegant, vintage fashion, framing her face beautifully. Her eyes, accentuated with dark makeup, have a confident and alluring gaze, and her lips are slightly parted, conveying a subtle yet engaging expression. The soft lighting highlights her delicate features, giving her a luminous and almost ethereal appearance. The photographer of this image, George Mannell, was based in London and was active in the early 20th century. He specialized in theatrical and celebrity portrait photography, producing high-quality postcards featuring actors and actresses of the time. His work captured the glamour and artistry of stage performers, often presenting them in elaborate costumes and dramatic poses to appeal to both fans and collectors. His work often appeared in publications such as the Picturegoer series, a popular British postcard collection featuring film stars and entertainers. SOLD

    I would like to buy postcards from you, but they always seem to be sold. Do you just sell to friends and relatives? I cannot figure how to purchase cards from you. I am interested in Maude Fealy and Maude Adams with some ladies from that era.James

      I am sorry that I have been listing so many sold postcards in the cabinet card gallery. Most of these images were sold from my ebay store. I have nearly 2400 images for sale in the store at present and I am constantly adding more photographs and real photo postcards. You can find my store on ebay by searching for me by name. Search for “historicalarchives”. Don’t include the quotes. Incidentally, I have many Maude Fealy and Maude Adams postcards that I still need to list. Do you have specific images in mind? Thanks for your comment. I will begin including my ebay seller ID in all of my future Cabinet Card Gallery listings.
