Vogue Magazine October 1, 1960 Dorothy McGowan Cover by Irving Penn

Vogue Magazine October 1, 1960 Dorothy McGowan Cover by Irving PennFrom 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.
