International Studio eBooks
/I first browsed a series of International Studio digitized magazines in 2013…enjoying all of them available at the time. They were from the early 1900s. Recently, I found more of them that had been digitized in 2022 from the 1920s and those are the ones I am featuring today.
International Studio - vol 67 (1919)
International Studio - vol 76 (1923)
I like looking at magazines to understand what was ‘new’ or ‘important’ at the time; it’s a perspective of the period from people living then rather than historical analysis from authors that did not experience it directly. Even the ads are interesting; the way products are described…the brands that still exist (maybe were ‘new’ at the time) and brands long gone. Ads were often the main color images inside the magazines!
According to a Wikipedia entry, the magazine was the American edition of The Studio published in London. The American publication continued until 1931. As I was writing this post, I realized there were some additional ones that I haven’t browsed yet…some additional browsing to enjoy!
