Fabulous and very extremely rare issue of American Vogue, dated 1st June 1916
The art deco cover is drawn by the great fashion illustrator Helen Dryden. (Incorrectly attributed to Rita Senger inside, the signature in the artwork is undoubtedly Dryden)
An absolutely fascinating issue full of illustrations and photography, the ads themselves are a window into history.

Excellent condition with some light wear. Small stain on the back cover which only runs through to one other page thankfully. The images show the actual magazine that you will receive. These are fragile magazines and to find one in this condition is also a great find.
