A collection of 100 postcards, each featuring a striking Vogue cover. From early aspirational illustrations to modern celebrity photography, this is a stunning selection of Vogue's most dazzling images. Since its launch in 1892, Vogue has brought sophistication to its readers around the world. Early illustrations from artists including George Wolfe Plank, Olive Tilton, Pierre Brissaud, and Eduardo Garcia Benito saw ethereal figures of fantasy develop into red-lipped flappers, and as colour photographs began to appear, the women transformed again: from Surrealist images by Horst P. Horst to 'women in the life of the moment', captured by Irving Penn. From the fifties onwards, Vogue women became more accessible still, as models and stars like Elizabeth Taylor, Goldie Hawn, Cindy Crawford, and Cher, with their own distinct personalities, appeared through the lenses of Richard Avedon and Snowdon. Vogue covers now are the epitome of style and beauty, with such illustrious photographers as Mario Testino, Annie Leibovitz, Steven Klein, and Patrick Demarchelier photographing stars like Lady Gaga, Kirsten Dunst, and Kate Moss, celebrating female icons across modern culture.

Mostly much older images

So, the product description claims that these cards will feature 100 of the "most iconic" covers from Vogue. Now, I assumed that the selection would include a wide range of covers - given that Vogue has been in circulation for over 100 years, it seemed fair to assume there would be a number from each decade. However, the selection is primarily images from very early 20th century (illustrations rather than photographs), and there are only 23 cards from the years 1960-present. So, it's just a bit disappointing in that regard - I had expected a broader range and more contemporary images. Some years are featured multiple times while lots of years aren't featured at all. I will say that the actual card quality is excellent, though. They are printed on a nice, heavy card stock that will absorb ink/fountain pens well. So they are good cards, just be prepared for a lot of illustrated, 1920s/30s images rather than many from the last 50 years.

A surprisingly interesting history of illustration

Going through all hundred postcards with our daughter who just graduated from art school turned out to be an interesting lesson in how illustration and the photography evolved - and it is sad to see how blah the modern covers with one big face and a ton of words look next to the gorgeous illustrations of the 1920s-40s and the photographs of the late 50s/early 60s. A lvoely collection.

I purchased these for a friend & had them directly shipped to her. We do not live in the same town so I did not get to see them in person but she did say that they were beautiful. Perfect gift for the letter writer fashionista!
