Description

Vogue Magazine August 1, 1968 – Joanna Shimkus Cover by David Bailey

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 Magazine from August 1, 1968, features Joanna Shimkus photographed by the celebrated fashion photographer David Bailey. A defining late-1960s edition, it showcases the height of British and international style—where effortless beauty, experimental design, and cultural vibrancy came together in one of Vogue’s most memorable eras.

The condition of the item is good. The item pictured in this listing is exactly the same one you will receive.

We do offer combined shipping—just ask.
All of our items come with a plastic protective covering.
