Look Magazine – January 17, 1939 – Pictures in Color of Hitler’s Palace in Munich – No Mailing Label – Very Good Condition
This is an original issue of Look Magazine dated January 17, 1939 (Vol. 3, No. 2), featuring one of the earliest and most striking photographic exposés of the Nazi regime’s elite spaces: “Hitler’s Palace in Munich”. Presented in color photos, a rarity for magazines of this era, this feature provides a rare visual tour of Adolf Hitler’s private and ceremonial residence as tensions in Europe neared the brink of World War II. A significant piece of pre-war journalism, it offered American readers a glimpse into the physical trappings of power behind the Third Reich.
The magazine is in very good condition, with only minor wear on edges consistent with its age. It has no mailing label, preserving the clean look of the cover. The item shown in the photos is exactly the one you will receive.
