Scarce early 20th century magazine aimed at the influential and wealthy segment of American urban society at this time.
A splendid assortment of images and stories relating to flappers, feminine beauty, city night life, travel, adventure, excitement and fun are the name of the game.
A wonderful visual time capsule of American society at this moment in time. Splendid range of visual and literary contents, hours of pleasant reading and browsing to be found within, all printed in a manner utterly unlike anything produced today. The feel and look of the printed paper (due to the inks and printed processes) is unique and unlike anything modern.
Illustrated paper wrappers, beautiful cover image worthy of framing by Harrison Fisher.
Binding remains tight, clean and sound, right edge with small chipping and edge nicks.
Text block remains overall clean, and displays a pleasing age patina.
Well preserved and attractive issue of this famous American magazine.
