Original period front cover from the 1929 issue of ASIA magazine, featuring two stylized white monkeys seated beneath sweeping tropical palm fronds and a crescent moon in a tranquil nighttime setting. The minimalist Art Deco composition emphasizes graceful forms, symmetry, and a serene exotic atmosphere. A refined palette of deep midnight blue, slate blue, ivory, soft cream, charcoal black, muted gold, and warm gray. This is an authentic vintage magazine cover, not a later reproduction. Cover illustration by Frank McIntosh.
Presented with a vintage cream mat and sold unframed. The magazine cover measures approximately 12'' X 8.5'', and the overall mat measures approximately 18'' X 14''. This listing is for the front cover only. No interior magazine pages are included.
Condition is consistent with age and may include minor surface wear and light creasing. Please review photographs carefully.
A striking example of early 20th-century editorial illustration and graphic design. Additional original magazine covers are available.
