Description
This original Illustrated magazine from the week ending October 4, 1947 features the vibrant and uplifting “Herring Girl” cover, capturing a hardworking young woman in Britain’s coastal fishing industry. A wonderful example of post‑war documentary photography, this issue offers rich period reporting, social features, and mid‑century imagery that reflects everyday life in 1940s Britain.
The magazine remains a strong display piece, though it does show damaged corner pages, consistent with age and handling. This does not detract from the charm or historical value of the cover, which remains bright, characterful, and highly collectible.
Ideal for enthusiasts of vintage magazines, maritime history, women’s labour history, and mid‑century British culture.
