LINDA TRESHAM'S HOUSE OF MAGAZINES
HARPER'S BAZAAR - 1950s
   

These issue are packed full of gorgeous fashions as well as adwork of the time. In some instances I've noted the ads however there was some much stuff I didnt' have time to note it all. If you have questions feel free to email me. These issues are getting more rare as time goes on. This batch came from the original owner, most of them are in very nice shape for their age. Any flaws are noted here.
