A collection of early 20th-century hand-painted real photograph postcards published by Rotary Photo, London E.C., featuring the English actress Gladys Cooper. These cards are identified as part of the British Beauty series and include numerous studio portraits of the actress in various costumes, millinery, and settings. Several examples depict Cooper with children or a small dog. Many cards feature a printed facsimile signature of the actress. The reverse of multiple cards shows handwritten correspondence, British half-penny stamps, and postmarks dating to circa 1915. The items are printed on cardstock with hand-tinted color accents.
