# Life Magazine, March 26, 1925 - "Beauty Number" This is the cover of Life's "Beauty Number" special issue, priced at 15 cents. It features four portrait illustrations of women showcasing different 1920s beauty trends and hairstyles—the primary subject matter indicated by "Wall Flowers" at the bottom. The page appears to be primarily a beauty/fashion-focused issue rather than political satire. The four female faces display the fashionable bob hairstyles and makeup aesthetics characteristic of the 1920s flapper era. The decorative floral borders surrounding each portrait were typical of the magazine's design aesthetic. Without additional context or identification of the specific women depicted, I cannot confirm whether these represent celebrities, society figures, or are simply illustrative examples of contemporary beauty standards for the period.
