EDITORS COMMENTS
This postcard features a portrait of Ase (Aase) Clausen, the Danish actress and beauty queen who was crowned Miss Europe in 1932. The image, which bears the Turkish stamp and postmark, is a testament to the international reach of the beauty pageant during this era. Born in Denmark in 1914, Clausen's win at the Miss Europe competition marked a significant moment in Danish cultural history. Her victory came during a period of reforms under the Turkish leader Mustafa Kemal Ataturk, who was modernizing the country and promoting Westernization. Turkey's entry into the competition reflected these changes and showcased the new openness of the Turkish people to the world. Clausen's success in the competition opened doors for her in the entertainment industry, and she went on to have a successful acting career in Denmark and Germany. She appeared in numerous films, including "The Girl from the Marsh Croft" and "The Student of Prague." The postcard also bears an advertisement for Lion Chocolates, a popular Turkish confectionery brand. The image of Clausen, with her striking features and elegant pose, perfectly encapsulates the allure of the golden age of beauty pageants and the glamour of Hollywood. This postcard is a fascinating snapshot of history, showcasing the intersection of international culture, beauty, and commerce in the 1930s.
