ITEM: This is a 1920s vintage and original, large format, silver gelatin photograph of Hollywood actress Lois Wilson. The sophisticated flapper beauty is a vision in this soft, emotional portrait as she poses with her lightly clasped hands resting against her neck.
This is a sublime view of the fair beauty who was raised in Alabama and moved to California to pursue a film career after winning a beauty contest put on by Universal Studios and the Birmingham News. This pageant was considered the predecessor to the Miss Alabama/Miss America pageant system and Wilson is considered to be the first "Miss Alabama." An all-around charming artifact that is a perfect display of Lois Wilson's timeless beauty.
Measures 10.25" x 13.75" on a glossy double weight paper stock.
Verso is blank.
CONDITION: Fine condition with pinholes in the corners, a small tear in the top edge of the photo, scattered edge wear, and general storage/handling wear. Please use the included images as a conditional guide.
Guaranteed to be 100% vintage and original from Grapefruit Moon Gallery.

A schoolteacher who became a stage actress (briefly), Lois Wilson entered films in 1916 at Paramount (her sisters, Diana Kane and Connie Lewis, also worked as actresses). Wilson played leading roles well into the sound era, and after she retired from the screen she worked sporadically in television and again appeared on stage.
