This is a valuable LIFE magazine from 1942, over 70 years old. This LIFE magazine has several pages cleanly separated from the binding. One double-sided page (pages 67 and 68) is missing. LIFE magazine was a legendary photo-magazine representing 20th-century America. It pioneered photojournalism, conveying world events primarily through photographs. Founded in 1936, it reached a peak circulation of 13.5 million copies weekly. Even after ceasing publication in 2007, a digital archive was released, and there have been recent movements to revive it. Legendary American "LIFE" Features: It established the style of a "picture magazine," using many photographs to convey news and stories rather than relying heavily on text. History: Founded in 1936, it built an era with its photojournalism during World War II, but declined with the spread of television and ceased publication in 2007. Legacy: It left behind numerous iconic news photographs that symbolize the era, influencing online archives and the design of related products. This LIFE magazine has been on the market in America for a considerable amount of time. Even with good storage conditions, the magazine itself shows signs of aging, such as paper deterioration, some sun-fading, overall discoloration, and page separation from the staples, which are typical age-related changes in old magazines. If you are reading this item with the same expectations as a magazine currently sold in bookstores, please consider the deterioration of the magazine itself, as there is a sufficient risk of damage such as page tears, folds, and cuts. Please read it with the same care as an antique. ※This product is a very old item, and may show signs of aging, sun-fading, small tears that are not immediately apparent, and stains due to the passage of time. Thank you for your understanding.
