Auction History Result 3p099 COLLIER'S paperbacked magazine cover February 25, 1933 Foster clay model of skating couple! Date Sold 9/9/2012 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Paperbacked Magazine Cover (measures 10 1/2" x 13 3/4") (Learn More) Collier's ("The National Weekly"; "More than a million a week"), the magazine which was founded by Peter Collier in 1887. It was known for its investigative journalism (critics called it "muckraking"), and it remained successful all the way until 1957. In its early days it was known as Collier's Weekly, and early covers had art by name artists who signed their work. Artist: Alan Foster Important Added Info: Note that this issue has a cover similar to those done by Jacques Kapralik in that the artist created a clay model which was then photographed for the cover (Kapralik also created three-dimensional items that were done the same way). Also note that this paperbacked magazine cover is from a collection that was consigned to us by a man who collected the covers of these magazines only (of course choosing the ones with the absolute best art!), and he had all of them professionally paperbacked, which not only presents them far better, but which makes them extremely easy to frame and enjoy (not only are these works of art by famous artists of the early to middle 20th century, but they also are very nostalgic, showing America when it was growing from a minor country to the leading world power, and any of them look great framed on a wall!).

The restorer backed the magazine cover "in the European style", meaning that they did not do restoration to the defects described above, but they are really not very distracting (and any restorer could touch them up without re-backing the cover).
