Description

Vogue Magazine September 1, 1955 Renée Breton Cover by Henry Clarke

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 September 1955 issue of Vogue features Renée Breton, photographed by Henry Clarke, and celebrates the season’s couture revival with an extensive look at the Paris and American fall collections. A hallmark of mid-1950s refinement, this issue captures the era’s transition into structured silhouettes, fur accents, and the rise of the modern suit.

The condition of the item is in good condition. The item being pictured in this listing is exactly the same item you will receive.
Please check picture for condition purposes.
We do offer combined shipping, just ask.
All of our items come with a plastic protective covering.
