This is a difficult to come by 1930's pre-WWII issue of UK Vogue, dated June 14th 1939. Just before the onset of WWII the issue celebrates Summer Fashions and Travel.
The cover is by the great fashion illustrator Benito and depicts a poignant 'white handkerchief greeting the New York skyline as thousands will do this summer'.
It's full of gorgeous and fascinating 1930's fashion and is a real time capsule.
Very rare in its own right as pre WWII Vogues were soon to be widely recycled as a part of the war effort.
