1952 Too Soon

Illustration by Robert Harris from a vintage issue of McCalls Magazine.

One of the reasons I enjoy vintage magazines is the wonderful illustrations. Mid-century women’s magazines always included short stories that were illustrated by an assortment of talented artists. Note the subtle details in this illustration by Robert Harris that set the scene for the story. It accompanied a nine page piece titled “Some People Meet Too Soon” by Thomas Bell from the September 1952 issue of McCalls magazine.

About Janet

I'm an American baby boomer with a strange hobby. I collect mid-century women's magazines. My blog, MidCenturyPage.com is a result of a 20 year passion to scan the pages of these magazines and share them with anyone who wants to understand what mid-century women thought about, cared about, and worried about while living in the 1950's and 1960's
