Vintage Vogue Magazine



This little lovely just arrived in the Mail.  Isn't it gorgeous? Swooooon.  It's from June 7th, 1930 and features a cover by Harriet Meserole.  I grabbed a couple other covers, by Harriet for your viewing pleasure - they are all beautiful.

I have been collecting vintage issues of Vogue from 1900-1930 since I was 16...there are so many incredible covers. Needless to say these are ART, and they just don't make em' like they used to.  They look great on a shelf, among other objet d'art.  They definitely bring an air of elegance to a display, and a provide a wonderful historical contrast to all of the modern things that are so pervasive in our lives.

It's just kind of humbling to realize that this issue of Vogue is 80 years old...just take a moment to ponder all of the change and progress that has transpired in that span of time.

You Stay Classy, San Diego...
