At BRANCHWATER BOOKS we look for rare & unusual ADVERTISING, COVERS + PRINTS of commercial graphics from throughout the world.
THE COLLECTING OF MAGAZINE COVER ART IS INTRIGUING IN THE SENSE OF \"THE FIND\" AND ALSO \"THE BRAG\" ... BEING IN EVERY SENSE OF THE WORD-EPHEMERAL, MOST MAGAZINES WERE NOT INTENDED FOR LONG-TERM SURVIVAL. STARTING WITH THE FIRST MAGAZINE (IE: THE GENTLEMAN\'S MAGAZINE, FIRST PUBLISHED IN 1731, IN LONDON, CONSIDERED TO HAVE BEEN THE FIRST GENERAL INTEREST MAGAZINE). MOST WERE READ, AND RE-READ AS THEY WERE PASSED ALONG BUT EVENTUALLY MOST WOULD END UP IN THE TRASH OR THE SCRAP PAPER-BUYER\'S CART...AND SO THE ENJOYMENT OF COLLECTING MAGAZINES AND THEIR SUPERLATIVE COVER ART BEGAN.
WARS, HATE MONGERS, BOOK BINDERS, SCRAP DRIVES, RODENTS, MOLD AND FIRE, HAVE TAKEN THEIR TOLL UPON SURVIVAL...ALONG WITH FLOODS, TORNADOS, AND OTHER NATURAL DISASTERS WHICH CONTINUALLY REDUCE THE AVAILABLE NUMBER OF COLLECTIBLE COVERS TO ENJOY, PURCHASE, AND SHOW OFF.
AS WITH ALL EPHEMERA, CONDITION, SCARCITY, CONDITION, DESIRABILITY, CONDITION, AND ... DID I MENTION...CONDITION...ARE THE PRIME FACTORS INVOLVED IN PRICE.
PERFECT COVERART IS RARE---AND PRICED ACCORDINGLY!
MOST COVERS PRIOR TO 1880 WERE PRINTED ON ACID FREE PAPER...AFTER THAT PAPER QUALITY CONTINUES TO DECLINE.
IT IS ALWAYS BEST TO USE ACID-FREE STORAGE IN MOUNTING PRACTICES IN COLLECTING MAGAZINE COVERS
AS DECORATIVE ART, THESE COVERS GIVE YOU, THE BUYER, AN OPPORTUNITY TO PURCHASE AND ENJOY FINE GRAPHICS.
As graphic collectors ourselves, we take great pride in doing the best job we can to preserve and extend the wonderful historic graphics of the past.
