Description
Time Magazine – April 29, 1940 – Vol. 35 No. 18 – Sweden’s Dynasty
This original issue of Time Magazine, dated April 29, 1940, features Sweden’s royal family on the cover, with a focus on the country’s constitutional monarchy during a time of mounting global conflict. As World War II swept through Europe, neutral Sweden's political and dynastic stability stood in sharp contrast to the chaos engulfing neighboring nations. This issue explores the role of Sweden’s monarchy—led at the time by King Gustaf V—as a symbol of national unity and cautious diplomacy.
Alongside the cover feature, the magazine offers contemporary coverage of wartime developments, political shifts, economic analysis, and cultural reporting from around the globe. Period advertisements and editorial content provide a richly textured view of life and media in 1940.
