As shown. See all photos. Found among my late mother’s belongings. Note there is a musty scent, as storage for 75 years clearly wasn’t entirely up to snuff. Still stunning, complete, unique. Visible blemishes present.
“Fleur Fenton Cowles (Jan 20, 1908–Jun 5, 2009) was an American writer, editor and artist best known as the creative force behind the short-lived Flair magazine.”
“Cowles founded Flair magazine in 1950, and it folded a year later. The magazine, which Time described at its launch as "a fancy bouillabaisse of Vogue, Town & Country, Holiday, etc.," was celebrated not only because of its design and editorial production by European art director Federico Pallavicini, but also because of its lavish production. It was the resulting cost of production that killed the magazine, since the expensive special costs (for cover cut-outs for some issues, for example) could not be supported in the long run.”
