Amazingly rare artefact. These early issues of American Vogue were printed in a much smaller run (a circulation of 20,000 at this time) and are extremely difficult to find now.

Excellent condition - Cover is bright and flat with light wear. This original United States version of Vogue also comes from a smoke-free environment.

All of our magazines are professionally stored inside acid-free archival and anti-UV plastic sleeves to protect them from discoloration.
