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 around this time are some of the rarest magazines on the planet.
The condition is good but partially water damaged. Some damage to pages where they had been stuck together in spots. The worn condition of the cover is also evident from the detailed photographs of the actual magazine you will receive, including the back cover.
Its an extremely rare historical issue with exceptional contents and we are pricing it according to scarcity and condition.
Shipping includes insurance & online tracking. We are also happy to combine post.
