Magazine Covers 1960-1969
We continue our look at magazine covers throughout the decades with a diverse smattering from the 1960’s. We start off with some teen magazines (teen magazines, much like the teenagers, were invented in the 1950’s and really came into their own in the 1960’s).
Teen (November 1964)
19 (August 1969)
We have many nice film magazine from the 1950’s forward, here are a few:
Film Culture (Summer 1960)

The French sure love their cinema.
An early edition of L’Esprit Créateur: The International Quarterly of French and Francophone Studies.
L'Esprit Createur (Winter 1968)

SK-SK-SK-SKELETONS!
Nestled gently between SIGNS & BILLBOARDS and SMALL TOWN AMERICA in our Picture Collection, SKELETONS boast about 100 items and is a good place to stop by for skeletal anatomy references, to contemplate your own mortality, or to find inspiration for the Scandinavian Black Metal album cover you’ve been hired to create.
See: True Norwegian black metal : we turn in the night consumed by fire in our book stacks.

I have neither credits nor a context for this.
