Description

Vogue Magazine May 1957 – Ann Klem 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 Magazine, dated May 1957, features Ann Klem on the cover, photographed by the acclaimed Irving Penn. Capturing the effortless elegance of 1950s summer fashion, this issue combines Penn’s signature artistry with Vogue’s in-depth features on beauty, society, and design—offering a refined portrait of postwar sophistication and modern luxury.

The item is in acceptable condition with good interior. There are creases and marks on the front cover and within, and minor rips may also be present. The item pictured is exactly the same item you will receive.
Please check pictures for condition purposes.
We do offer combined shipping, just ask.
All of our magazines come with a plastic protective covering.
