Most of the magazines are in pretty good shape considering they are 65 years old. A few show some tattered page edges and some are fragile and need to be handled carefully. We have these forsale in the Waxahachie Downtown Online Emporium and are priced according to their rarity and condition. Two of the rarest issues feature Elizabeth Taylor and Mickey Mouse. The Elizabeth Taylor issue has been valued at $19.00. An issue in perfect condition would be valued at $22.95. The Micky Mouse issue was a surprie to all of us as it had a value of $25.00. We had no idea that is would be valued more than an Elizabeth Taylor issue. As mentioned, these are forsale individually or as a group or collection. You someone is interested in the entire collection they may contact us we will be happy come up with a reasonable for the entire Magazine Collection.
The Life founded in 1883 was similar to Puck, and published for 53 years as a general-interest light entertainment magazine, heavy on illustrations, jokes, and social commentary, and featured some of the greatest writers, editors and cartoonists of its era, including Charles Dana Gibson, Norman Rockwell, and Harry Oliver. During its later years, this magazine offered brief capsule reviews (similar to those in The New Yorker) of plays and movies currently running in New York City, but with the innovative touch of a colored typographic bullet appended to each review, resembling a traffic light: green for a positive review, red for a negative one, amber for mixed notices. The Luce Life was the first all-photography U.S. news magazine and dominated the market for more than forty years. The magazine sold more than 13.5 million copies a week at one point and was so popular that President Harry S. Truman, Sir Winston Churchill, and Gen. Douglas MacArthur all serialized their memoirs in its pages. Perhaps one of the best-known pictures printed in the magazine was Alfred Eisenstaedt’s shot of a nurse in a sailor’s arms, snapped on August 27, 1945, as they celebrated Victory Over Japan Day in New York City. The magazine's place in the history of photojournalism is considered its most important contribution to publishing. Luce purchased the rights to the name from the publishers of the first Life but sold its subscription list and features to another magazine; there was no editorial continuity between the two publications. Life was wildly successful for two generations before its prestige was diminished by economics and changing tastes. Since 1972, Life has twice ceased publication and resumed in a different form, before ceasing once again with the issue dated April 20, 2007. The brand name continues on the Internet. |
