About this Item

3 issues in white card with coloured central front iimage, 5 in same but with coloured illustrated wraparound card jackets. illustrated card, 2 in spiral bound illustrated card, Issue 1 in white card is dated Summer 1949 for some reason, but spiral bound No 2 is Summer 1946 (perhaps 1949 was a typograhic error!), No. 4 is duplicated in illustrated card and spiral binds, dated Spring April 1947 and Spring 1950 with different contents respectively! , No.7 duplicated in white and illustrated card. All generally clean but No.8 has top sp. rubbing and 3 have fr. gutter opening which I can fix when ordered, No.6 has a very faint oblong blue stamp centre fr., thin remnant strip of white paper beside fr. spine and a 1 cm chip bottom same. Paginations in 80-98 range, all lavishly illustrated, with many ills. in colour, and a couple of leaves of adverts at end inc. in pagination.Conditions thus vary from 'Good-Vg for age' to Near Fine. Runs of this journal rare and individual issues very scarce. The coverage is amazing, from monographs on individuals to history and architecture as well typography and illustration. Some issues simply title 'Image', though retain sub-titel. There is clearly some muddle here about issue numbering, format and dating, though James Shand as publishers same throughout, as additional imprints seems to be variable.
