Fascinating pre-WWII illustrated magazines featuring international affairs, politics, American society, photography, cartoons, editorial artwork and period journalism.
Condition: Very nice overall for magazines approaching 90 years old. Interiors are particularly attractive, with clean pages, strong photography and vivid color illustrations. Covers show normal age and handling wear, including edge/spine wear, small creases and corner wear. The June 30 issue has more noticeable wear at the lower-left corner. Please examine all photos closely, as they are part of the condition description.
Magazines are currently individually sleeved.
All six magazines are being sold together as one lot.
A great collection for anyone interested in vintage magazines, 1930s illustration and graphic design, journalism, pre-WWII history or Americana.
