A vintage edition of British '19' magazine, rare issue. We have many copies of 19 in our archive, but this is without doubt the most sought after issue. It has taken us a year to source another copy of this issue. The Biba special is a collector's item and becoming increasingly difficult to find.
COVER - Cover model wears BIBA, head-to-toe. Photograph by John Bishop.
This magazine contains a large 16 page feature about the opening of the Big Biba store, and the cover model poses in and around the large art deco building (including the ballroom and Rainbow room) - with a look at the Biba clothes, homeware, maternity wear and make-up.
CONTENTS - Bob Dylan special. 'Reluctant Messiah' - 4 page feature interview by Mike McGrath.
'Rock on the Roll' - Mick Brown shadows Hawkwind on tour. 2 pages. Includes a photo of Lemmy (who later formed his own band Motorhead) in a group shot with the band Hawkwind. Article written by Mick Brown, who hangs out with the band on tour (Swansea, Plymouth, Redruth, Torquay etc); backstage, on the road etc - and photo by Brian Aldred. Mick gives an insight into each band member along with their manager.
Geraldine Chaplin two page interview and photo shoot at her home in Paris. 3 images of Geraldine shot by Jerry Bauer for this feature.

"In 1974, the store moved to the seven-storey Derry & Toms department store, which immediately attracted up to a million customers weekly, making it one of the most visited tourist attractions in the city of London . There were different departments, and each floor had its own theme, such as a children's floor, a floor for men, a book store, a food market, and a "home" floor which sold items such as wallpaper, paint, cutlery, soft furnishings and even statues. Each department had its own logo or sign, which was based on the Biba logo and had a picture describing the department; these were designed by Kasia Charko. One of the most popular departments was a "Logo Shop" featuring merchandise adorned with the Biba logos and pin-up art, such as playing cards, match books, and coloring books. The store had an Art Deco-interior reminiscent of the Golden Age of Hollywood and non-traditional displays, such as a giant Snoopy and his doghouse in the children's department, where merchandise based on the Peanuts comic strip was sold.
The Biba Food Hall was also designed ingeniously, each part being aimed at one particular kind of product; a unit made to look like a dog (based on Hulanicki's own dog, a Great Dane named Othello) consisted of dog food; a huge baked beans tin can consisted of only tins of Baked beans; a can of "Warhol's Condensed Soup" etc., all foods having individual innovative units.
Excellent condition, as shown. One double page spread from the Brixton shoot has some light spotting, see pics. Otherwise fine. The photographs are of the actual magazine that you will receive.
Scarce collector's item - insurance is included in postage.

Also at the new "Big Biba" was "The Rainbow Restaurant", which was located on the fifth floor of the department store and which was destined to become a major hang-out for rock stars, but which wasn’t solely the reserve of the elite. Also at the site was the Kensington Roof Gardens, which are still there today."
