Original period front cover from the August 1934 issue of ASIA magazine featuring a stylized white polar bear gazing upward against a cool blue background. The minimalist Art Deco composition emphasizes the animal’s graceful form and evokes the beauty of the Arctic wilderness. A calming palette of powder blue, slate blue, soft white, light gray, and subtle blush tones, accented with charcoal details. 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 9'', 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 light toning, 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.
