1953. According to Getty Images, this photo appears in the 7 November edition of Picture Post to illustrate an article on The Beauty Contest Business with the following caption:
Brenda Mee, Miss Great Britain, a contestant in a ‘Miss World’ beauty competition sponsored by Mecca Dancing, needs an umbrella when she ventures out of her hotel.
Perhaps it failed to make the final cut or it was published in another edition because it is not used to illustrate that article.
