Background:
These original Fortune magazine covers are from 1935 - the sixth year of publication for
the magazine.
Henry Luce, publisher of Fortune, said he wanted
"the new magazine to be as beautiful a magazine as exists in the United States.
If possible, the undisputed most beautiful". To that end leading
artists of the day contributed to the design of the covers including Antonio Petruccelli,
Ervine Metzl, Walter Buehr and Ernest Hamlin Baker. Where possible, we identify the
artist for the cover.
The covers are notable both for the quality of
the graphics, and their commentary on business, social and political issues of the day.
Four of the covers presented here were illustrated by the American artist Antonio
Petruccelli (1907-1994) who was born in Fort Lee, New Jersey. During the 1930's and
1940's Petruccelli illustrated 24 covers for Fortune.
Each Fortune cover is provided with a copy of
the table of contents from the issue.
