Glamorous 40s in color and excellent quality
Suddenly it turned out that absolutely stunning pictures can be found in the archives of glossy magazines. The publishing house Condé Nast has pleased with a real treasure trove of color images from the 40s, which were once printed on the pages of Vogue and Glamour.
I can't believe that in those days they were already shooting so well and beautifully. Sometimes it's impossible to guess what was shot in the 40s. The photos show a huge number of different details of the era, and all in excellent quality. Enjoy.
