Description

Vogue Magazine April 1, 1968 — Veruschka Cover by Irving Penn — GD Interior

From a privately held Vogue archive, 1920s–1970s. These were stored away for decades and recently brought back into circulation. We performed light, dry surface cleaning at the outer spine (vacuum/brush/smoke sponge only; no wet methods), then placed each issue in a new archival sleeve.

What to expect: honest vintage traits, binding wear or small splits, staple-rust halos, edge toning, and period shelf dust that can appear as black residue along the spine. Interiors are dry and legible. Some copies retain a light vintage paper aroma typical of mid-century magazines.

Each listing shows the exact issue you’ll receive. Any condition materially beyond the above is noted in that item’s description. These characteristics reflect long, earlier storage before we acquired the collection; all items are now housed in clean sleeves and stored upright.

This vintage issue of Vogue from April 1, 1968 features supermodel Veruschka on the cover, photographed by Irving Penn. The magazine is in acceptable condition with a good interior. 

Please note: Due to age, this issue is missing a few pages at the back, including the back cover. The last page included is page 250

The front cover shows creases, and there are marks both on the cover and throughout the interior. Additional marks and rips may also be present. The item pictured in this listing is exactly the same item you will receive.

Please review all photos carefully to assess condition.
We do offer combined shipping upon request.
All of our items come with a plastic protective covering.

This issue captures the vibrancy and cultural dynamism of 1968, with Veruschka’s striking Penn cover setting the tone for a magazine filled with bold fashion and sweeping American themes. From summer silhouettes to Norell’s buoyant organdies and Galanos’ sculptural designs, the fashion pages offer a definitive look at late-1960s style.

The Texas-centered features highlight both political and cultural life in the state, including insights from Governor John Connally, a profile of Dr. Michael De Bakey, and a look at notable Texan personalities. Additional essays and art commentary contribute to the magazine’s intellectual depth, while the beauty section explores sensory concepts such as scent, hairkeeping, and eye-enhancing techniques.

Despite missing back pages and age-related wear, the interior remains in good condition. This issue is a strong addition for collectors of Irving Penn covers, Veruschka’s iconic imagery, and late-1960s American fashion and culture.
