CONDITION

This vintage magazine from 1942 is in very good condition, especially considering its age. The cover retains its fresh appearance. The paper along the spine has almost completely torn away, but the stapled binding remains secure, with no loose pages. Some pages towards the end show minor wear, including small dog-eared corners, and the lower outer corner of the back cover is missing. Pages 57/58, containing the fashion editorial “Color Reel”, are missing. Otherwise, this is a superb copy, with fresh colours, flat pages, and excellent paper quality. A rare and highly collectible piece.
