Vanity Fair 100 Years showcases a century of personality and power, art and commerce, crisis and culture—both highbrow and low—in this collection of images that graced the pages of magazine, and some published for the very first time. “A stunning artifact.” (New York Times Book Review)
From its inception in 1913, through the Jazz Age and the Depression, to its reincarnation in the boom-boom Reagan years, to the image-saturated Information Age, Vanity Fair has presented the modern era as it has unfolded, using wit, imagination, peerless literary narrative, and bold, groundbreaking imagery from the greatest photographers, artists, and illustrators of the day.
Edited by Vanity Fair editor Graydon Carter, this sumptuous book takes a decade-by-decade look at the world as seen by the magazine, stopping to describe the incomparable editor Frank Crowninshield and the birth of the Jazz Age Vanity Fair, the magazine’s controversial rebirth in 1983, and the history of the glamorous Vanity Fair Oscar Party.
A gorgeous coffee table book to enjoy, gift, and display.
“The book is a stunning artifact that begets staring, less for the words and publishing industry than as an exercise in visual storytelling reflected through the prism of society and celebrity. The best photographers, the best designers, the best illustrators all came together over Vanity Fair’s contents, and the book unfolds in page after page of stunningly rendered images, some iconic and some that never even ran.” —New York Times Book Review

This is a wonderful coffee table book. So enjoyable to learn about the interesting first editor-in-chief (1914-1936) Francis Crowinshield “Crownie,” followed by page after page of fascinating high-quality photos and hundreds of fascinating, well-written articles about the first hundred years.
Highly recommend.

Livro lindo, comprei para presentear, mas tenho o meu há 3 anos e está perfeito. Muito pesado e grande. Indispensável para os fãs da revista. Fotos maravilhosas. Lindo coffee table book. Tem um usuário tal Roberto G que sempre da votos aos livros dizendo que criam mofo, mas o problema não é o livro e sim o ambiente onde ele é colocado, o problema é a casa dele e não os livros.
