Beauty History

Beauty Contest, Toronto, 193-?

Have you ever wondered what ladies swim fashion in Toronto was in the 1930s? of course you have! Well, take inspiration from these local beauties. All of these images are from the City of Toronto Archives, which is an absolutely amazing source for vintage images of Toronto. You can access the archives online here: http://www.toronto.ca/archives/photographs/index.htm just hit scanned photographs only when you search. Another resource that is great for finding old photos is the Archives of Ontario http://ao.minisisinc.com/scripts/mwimain.dll/92/1/0?SEARCH&ERRMSG=[IMG_WEB]img_simNo.htm
