These Vogue Beauty magazines were sold separately in a much smaller circulation and are very hard to find.
We rarely see them, they are extremely rare.
The ads in these beauty books from this period are wonderful illustrated beautiful pages. The fashion illustration is exceptional. A couple to mention -
- SCHIAPARELLI by MARCEL VERTES. Full page and in colour.
- Harrods 'Cool Curl' hair. Ditto.
Good condition light wear visible in the photographs, minimal wear overall.
Shipping includes insurance & online tracking. We are happy to combine post.
