Keeping my eyes open after a short time doing other things last week, hey, a boy has a life you know! I noticed this fantastic set of magazine scans from the 1950s.

Whilst the magazines reflect the times,  I simply revelled in the photography and typographic layout, something many modern magazines seem to have forgotten about completely.   There are over 311 scans in the set enjoy and fdont forget to leave a comment for the owner of the images, she took time to collect them together.
