This is the Xmas '45 issue.  During World War II British Vogue was kept in print as a part of the war effort. One of its influences was to encourage people to recycle and contribute paper to the war effort. They sent their archives to be pulped and had features on taking part in the war effort. As a result any British Vogue pre-1945 are some of the rarest magazines on the planet. 

Shipping includes insurance & online tracking. We are also happy to combine post.

The condition is VG for a magazine of this vintage. Wear to edges of the cover as visible in the photograph which is of the actual magazine you will receive.  Otherwise excellent; spine tight and colours bright.
