A black and white postcard featuring an image of Vivien Leigh taken by photographer Paul Tanqueray in 1942. The postcard was produced in 1986 by ACME Cards London.

Paul Tanqueray was born in 1905 and opened his first studio aged 20 in Kensington, later moving to the West End after commercial success.

Paul Tanqueray's photographs appeared in The Sketch, The Tatler, and most frequently inside and on the cover of Theatre World.
