The last Life magazine of the 60’s, this two-in-one issue is dated Dec. 26, 1969. From Vietnam, to political life in the United States, the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, his brother Robert, and Dr. Martin Luther King, the Civil Rights Movement, the new frontier of space, and the moon landing, to Beatles music, and much more are captured in 115 pages of text and photo essays.
The 11 inch by 14 inch magazine is impressive in the scope and events that shaped America’s course into the seventies and beyond. This is a marvelous memento of a tumultuous time in our history, with age-related browning to its pages. In addition, page 13/14 has been torn out, and page 34 is missing the picture of President Kennedy. He, along with Presidents Truman and Eisenhower (their pictures are still on the page) were gathered for the funeral of Sam Rayburn, the former Speaker of the House. The next two pages are taped at the bottom, but these are the only other issues.
Beyond the extraordinary events, this Life magazine is chock-full of full page and lesser size classic advertisements, which would make terrific frame ready prints. Among these are General Telephone & Electronics featuring a full size Porky Pig done by Seven Arts for Warner Bros, Campbell soup showing a superimposed Andy Warhol on the can, a 2 page ad of the upcoming 1971 Lockheed 1011 Tristar, Buick’s 1970 Opel Kadett, full page Ford truck and Bronco ad, old Maytag ad, Marlboro and Viceroy ads plus many others. |
