Jueves Magazines (Freyre Covers)
Return to Jueves Home Page
Jueves Magazine was a newsprint style weekly publication printed every Thursday in Mexico. Each issue combines stories on politics and current news events, with wide coverage of the arts, fashion, medicine, sports and cinema -- both U.S. and Mexican films. (There is especially heavy coverage of bullfighting, and of Hollywood movie stars -- including numerous wonderful photos). The magazine features full-color covers, with sepiatone (or black and white) inside pages. The issues published before June, 1941 usually measured approximately 8.75x11.25 inches. The issues published after June, 1941 usually measured approximately 10x12.5 inches. ............. We believe that most people will buy these magazines for the cover art, so the condition rating mainly describes the front cover. If we have noticed damage to the back cover, or to the inside pages, we will note it in the description. ............ Jueves was printed on cheap newsprint paper, so they were really not designed to last for the ages. Most issues we've seen in the past were in very poor condition (so poor in fact, that we did not feel they were good enough to offer to our customers). Recently we were quite lucky to have had the opportunity to purchase this collection, which is in far better than average condition. But, although we are proud to now offer these rare magazines, many of the covers do have some wear along the edges and some have the date/number written on the cover. However, if matter and framed, many (or most) of these flaws would not be visible. Please contact us with any questions regarding condition, or content, of any specific issues.
