| Summary |
"Neither a straightforward history of the press, nor an anthology, this is a tour of the 20th Century through its most unforgettable magazine covers. These iconic covers pay witness to an era when magazines kept headlines to a minimum, letting the images speak for themselves. Such titles as Esquire, Harper's Bazaar, Vogue and the Sunday Times were style-leaders working with the greatest artists and providing inspiration for the rest. From diverse publications such as Illustration, Playboy, The New Yorker, Life, Punch or Paris-Match, more than five hundred covers are reproduced in colour, providing a truly international selection to browse, compare and savour. This is an original and revelatory portrait of a century. Book jacket."--BOOK JACKET |
