Excellent condition. There is a subscriber name to the cover however it's interesting to note that during WWII the only way to get a copy of Vogue was to subscribe, so during rationing - which continued until 1954, most copies were subscribed and held by newsagents with names. Cover otherwise vibrant, staples secure, contents perfect. Light foxing to a couple of edges of the cover page, normal for this age and paper.
