Auction History Result 6p0435 CINEMA ARTS limited edition hardcover vol 1 no 1 magazine 1937 Fabry art of Hepburn, rare! Date Sold 6/4/2024 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. A Limited Edition Original Vintage Magazine (measures 11 1/2" x 14 1/4" [29 x 36 cm]; #896/2,000) (Learn More) Cinema Arts, the over-sized high quality deluxe movie magazine that began in June 1937. Most of its rivals were printed on pulp paper and were a smaller size. We don't know much about this magazine, but we suspect that it likely was unable to keep publishing in that format for very long, for it cost 50 cents per issue, when all the other magazines were only 10 cents, due to their less expensive paper stock and smaller size. Each issue had heavily illustrated stories (with black & white and color images) about then current stars and films. Note that there was a magazine in the mid 1920s called "Cinema Art", and it too was an oversized high quality publication that sold for 35 cents, and it seems quite possible that this magazine was a revival of that magazine. If anyone knows more about this magazine, please e-mail us and we will post it here. Artist: Jaro Fabry Important Added Info: Note that when this magazine was first published in June 1937, it had a regular softcover edition, but it also had this special numbered limited hardcover edition (of 2,000 copies), and each one has a page saying which number it was, and who it was presented to. This one is #896, and was presented to director William Keighley. We have only auctioned one other example of this limited edition hardcover. Condition: good. There are stains on both covers, including on the face of Hepburn on the cover. The interior pages are in pretty nice condition, but bear the above in mine before bidding on this rare limited edition hardcover. Learn More about condition grades
