True Love Stories Vintage Magazine - August 1950 - Ektachrome

Published in August 1950 by Macfadden Publications. cover: Ektachrome by Charles E. Kulhawy of Christenson Studios; Suit by Sea Modes, Inc. Still famous today for their lushly-colored cover art, True Romance and True Love were the first celebrity-gossip magazines. Both were originally devoted to tales of love “written by real people, not paid writers.” Eventually their editorial coverage was expanded to include the love lives of movie stars. This bold idea of publisher Bernarr McFadden – who began his publishing empire back in 1919 -- proved so wildly successful that his magazines had the highest circulation numbers of any in the industry. The signature covers of all his magazines were often photographs that had been enhanced by hand-painting.

This giclée print offers beautiful color accuracy. Giclée (French for “to spray”) is a printing process where millions of ink droplets are sprayed onto the paper’s surface creating natural color transitions. The high-quality paper (235 gsm) is a great option for framing with its smooth, acid free surface.
