EDITORS COMMENTS
This magazine cover illustration, created by the talented British artist David Wright in 1947, graced the front page of a popular women's magazine during a time of great change and anticipation. The image, titled "Room for Two," showcases a stylish and modern couple embracing in a cozy domestic setting, reflecting the post-war optimism and desire for happiness and companionship. David Wright was a prolific contributor to The Sketch during the 1940s, and his pin-up series became a sensation, adorning the walls of military messes, bunkers, dormitories, and clubs across the country. His illustrations brought a touch of glamour and escapism to the harsh realities of wartime life. The cover, with its vibrant colors and dynamic composition, is a testament to Wright's artistic skill and ability to capture the zeitgeist of the era. The image, which measures 21 x 15 inches (53.3 x 38.1 cm), is a historical artifact that offers a glimpse into the past and the cultural significance of magazine illustrations during the mid-20th century. This particular cover, from the March issue of a women's magazine, was imported from the ILN (International Newsreel) and is a reminder of the enduring appeal of David Wright's work. The image, which has been carefully preserved, is a valuable addition to any collection of vintage magazine covers or illustrations, and a testament to the power of art to transport us to another time and place.
