Description

Vogue Magazine March 15, 1957 Jessica Ford Cover by Karen Radkai

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 Vogue Magazine issue from March 15, 1957, featuring Jessica Ford on the cover photographed by Karen Radkai, offers a striking glimpse into mid-century fashion and culture. The magazine is in good condition, preserved with care. The exact item pictured is the one you will receive. Please refer to the photos provided for a detailed view of its condition.

We offer combined shipping upon request, and all magazines are securely packaged with a plastic protective covering for preservation and presentation.

This issue, titled Paris Fashions—Completing March 1 Report, captures the height of 1950s couture and lifestyle. Highlights include extensive coverage of Paris collections from legendary designers such as Christian Dior, Lanvin-Castillo, Grès, Chanel, Balmain, Nina Ricci, Patou, Dessès, and Griffe.
