Ever wondered how your favourite magazines looked years back? Some of the covers will leave you awestruck because just like everything changes with time so has our magazine covers changed. Few of them still carry the same feel and genre but most of them have a completely new essence these days. You won’t even believe the date when their first issues were released. Some of them date back to the 1800’s. Every magazine cover is sure to take you back in time as you will relish the brilliance of the same. I have tried to incorporate a lot of different styles so that you can actually trace how the covers kept on changing with time and how our styles have developed over the years.

To be featured on the top of a magazine cover was a great deal even in the old times. The fact that these are all first issues of some of the most esteemed magazines makes it even more legendary.
