Offered is a 1953 Fall (No. 8) issue of Gentry magazine that featured the signature Gentry Fashion Portfolio, tailored cold-weather wear, and outdoors that included "Gun Dogs—Spaniels in Particular" and "Pursuit of the Big-Horned Moose", a deep-dive illustrated essay on Orozco by Joseph Pijoan and "Psychiatry Looks at Modigliani" by Félix Martí Ibañez., as well as pre space-age era "The Expanding Universe" by astronomer Harlow Shapley.
Gentry was a lavish, sophisticated, high-concept men's lifestyle and fashion quarterly founded by publisher William C. Segal. Famed for its tactile and avant-garde production, it folded after 22 issues due to high production costs and financial losses.
The magazine was famous for its modernist graphic design, utilizing varied paper stocks, gatefolds, and physical insertions—such as actual fabric swatches in clothing ads, packets of seeds, or miniature booklets. Beyond standard menswear and sports, it covered high art, philosophy, literature, and travel. See less
