ABOUT PRODUCTID 16677
This framed cover of 'Woman’s Journal' from July 1962 is a quintessential specimen of British graphic design from the 1960s. The analog print reveals a subtle halftone texture on paper, defined by a powder blue central ground, softly faded off-white borders, and vivid fuchsia pink highlights. The composition is emblematic of mid-century modern style: bold black typography for the 'Journal' masthead, a handwritten, energetic fuchsia slogan, and an expansive, matte white mount within a precisely crafted black wooden or metal frame. At the center floats a warm-toned photographic portrait of American actress Yvette Mimieux, her bright blonde hair and open smile radiating optimism. The paper, sized 30 × 40 cm, shows slight creasing, minor discoloration, and gentle signs of aging such as light foxing at the edges—typical of its era, structurally preserved and stable for display. The piece remains in good collectible condition.This framed cover evokes an era where magazines served as everyday dream windows and style barometers. Its tangible surface captures the voice of postwar optimism, at the very height of women’s periodicals: cheerful hues, a vivid expression and the energetic flair of 1960s pop art reflect a society drawn to new ideas, fashion, and the simple promise to 'be beautiful this summer'. The visible halftone grain leads the viewer back to newsstands where each issue invited discovery and color—a resonance that now appeals to any connoisseur of mid-century applied arts.Such a cover would hold its own as a focal point on a neutral wall—alone, or grouped with other graphic prints from the 1960s to create a collector’s gallery. It could be paired with sculptural lamps
