About this stream

Hello!

The 20th century was the Magazine Century. The form hardly existed before it, and in some respects it is barely surviving after it.

This stream is a place to share images, links, and information and commentary about magazines—the famous, the infamous, the exemplary, the obscure—through their rise, and their mid- and late-century heyday. We focus for now on covers (though that can change).

Highlight the items you think are important by clicking the star icon. That helps other community members quickly find the most vital content. If you want receive updates about activity in the stream, please follow it.

Please contribute to by adding posts, comments, and tags. If you only have Viewer access, please request Contributor access (by clicking the button marked “Contribute”).

Thanks for visiting this sort-of-a-newsstand. And don't worry, you won't be chased away for just browsing and reading!
