Postcard of Vivien Leigh in Serena Blandish

A postcard featuring an image of Vivien Leigh as Serena Blandish from the 1938 play of the same name. Based on the novel A Lady of Quality by Enid Bagnold, the play was adapted by S. N. Behrman. Laurence Olivier was originally due to direct (Esme Percy later took the helm) with the production opening at the Gate Theatre, London (since destroyed by bomb damage in World War II).

The postcard itself hardly refers to the play, instead focusing on Vivien Leigh's beauty and her role as Scarlett O'Hara in Gone With The Wind. The card was produced as part of a nostalgia series celebrating 'Yesterday's Britain' from the 1890s - 1950s.
