Vital Vintage – the spreads

Published: 18 August, 2010 by Neil in From the archives and Mags we like.

Well, Vintage at Goodwood is over now, but I did enjoy searching out prime examples of vintage British magazines to reflect the decades. I said I would put up some spreads, so here they are.

I love this one from Ideal Home from the sixties. An interview with Liberty window dresser, Roy Gentry. Is his home as nice as his window displays?

More from Ideal Home.

Great one from Oz in the seventies about drug misuse, with illustrations from the “lovely” Peter Till.

Another from Oz, and an article from the late, great John Peel.

Up to the eighties now, and Blitz.

Some fashion from Blitz. It’s all coming back I’m told!

See earlier post for the covers.

Vital Vintage (1960s)

Published: 11 August, 2010 by Neil in Events, From the archives and Mags we like.

We continue our countdown to Vintage at Goodwood on Friday, and today is the turn of the sixties.

Homes and furniture was a massive part of the 1960s, with new designers like Charles Eames and Terence Conran shaping the way people lived. Ideal Home magazine was one of the biggest selling titles at the time. Published since the twenties, it is still around today, and recently had a redesign. Some of the furniture in this issue from October 1964 wouldn’t look out of place in today’s copy!
