First Edition. An exceptional copy; fine in an equally fine dw, now mylar-sleeved. Particularly and surprisingly well-preserved; tight, bright, clean and especially sharp-cornered. Literally as new.; 352 pages; Description: 352 p. : ill. ; 31 cm. Includes index. Subjects: Women --United States --Social conditions. Series: A Studio book. Summary: Never underestimate the power of a woman, the Ladies' Home Journal was the first to say, years and years ago. But never had the magazine underestimated the power of a man, either. By keeping a well-appointed eye on his interests as well as hers, the Journal became a family affair, an international institution, in short the most successful magazine of its kind in the world. Which is by way of saying that the interest of The Journal of the Century is general, the content varied and not without surprises - the amusing, happy, nostalgic, or just plain fascinating kind of surprises one would hope to encounter while journeying through the magazine's long and glamorous past. Delightful suprises also include the Diaghileff ballet colour pages, the Alice in Wonderland colour cutout, the song by Richard Strauss and the waltz by Enrico Caruso, both composed specially for the Journal, the little-known drawings by Kate Greenaway and Charles Dana Gibson, and the rare colour illustrations by Maxfield Parrish, Arthur Rackham, Norman Rockwell, and the two Wyeths. The list of who and what is in the book could go on and on, but between the table of contents and the index the reader can quickly see everything else that has been lovingly culled from more than 250, 000 pages of the Journal from the 1880s to the present. 2 Kg.…
