Description from the seller
For sale is an exclusive and historically fascinating collectible from the golden age of American beauty pageants. This is an authentic set consisting of a personally written and signed letter and a signed photo collage of the legendary BeBe Shopp (Beatrice Shopp Waring), Miss America 1948. The set was sent by airmail from Rockport, Massachusetts, directly to a collector in Germany on April 1, 2011. In this charming and very personal letter, the former beauty queen responds to fan mail and explains in detail the enclosed photo collage featuring four historical images from her life: • Top left: Her official gown from the pageant, now held in the archives of the Minnesota Historical Society. • Top right: A photo taken immediately after her coronation as Miss America. • Bottom left: A photo from the 1980s showing her performing with her musical instrument, the vibraphone (Vibraharp). • Bottom right: Her iconic coronation gown, decorated with flowers representing the 48 U.S. states at the time. It weighed a remarkable 30 pounds (approx. 13.6 kg), and she wore it again the following year at the coronation of her successor in Atlantic City. Both the typed letter and the photo collage were personally **signed in ink** by BeBe Shopp, with the proud inscription "Miss America 1948." The original stamped envelope, complete with official postmark and her printed return-address label, completes this fully documented provenance ensemble. Contents & details: • 1x Original letter: Typed on paper, with an original personal signature (dated April 1, 2011). • 1x Photo collage: High-quality print featuring 4 historical images and a second original personal signature. • 1x Original envelope: Large mailing envelope with U.S. postage stamps, a Rockport (MA) postmark, and the printed return-address label of Mrs. Beatrice B. Waring. Approximate dimensions: • Letter sheet / photo page: Each 21.6 cm x 27.9 cm (standard U.S. Letter format
