COVER HISTORY

Early magazine covers did not have huge pictures on it or anything, just words. I would say it was just like a bookcover. The poster cover 1890-1960's was the only real cover people have seen They were big photos as well. Pictures married to type introduced cover lines as well as new ideas for picture placement on the covers. In the forest of words more words were shown on magazine covers, as well as more enticing pictures to attract readers.
