EDITORS COMMENTS
This front cover of The Sketch magazine from 1938 showcases a young woman in a striking red turban, exuding an aura of timeless beauty. The woman's elegant pose and enchanting gaze draw the viewer's attention, while four statues of classical beauty gracefully adorn the corners of the page. Each statue represents an aspect of beauty from ancient Greek and Roman mythology, including Venus, Aphrodite, and Cleopatra. The Sketch, a renowned British fashion and society magazine, has been a staple in the world of journalism since its inception in 1811. Throughout its rich history, the publication has been known for its exquisite cover designs, showcasing the most beautiful and influential women of their time. This particular cover, from 1938, is a testament to the magazine's commitment to celebrating beauty in all its forms. The red turban worn by the woman on the cover adds an exotic and alluring touch to her appearance, making her stand out against the backdrop of the classical statues. The contrast between the modern and the ancient, the East and the West, adds an intriguing layer to the image, making it a truly iconic representation of beauty in the late 1930s. This cover serves as a reminder of the enduring power of beauty and the role that magazines like The Sketch have played in shaping our cultural perceptions of it throughout history.
