11. Life (1940-1965)

Life is just a magical blend of content that really should have been in Parade and photographs that should stay forever in the Smithsonian. Once it became a weekly, Ed K. Thompson used a trio of female editors and the pages improved under his reign. If they paid the right person for a feature, the writing could be incredible, but usually it wasn’t. Life went through many subtly different approaches, like a true variety show. One issue could be a mind-blowing meld of ultimate design and approachable prose, another would be as vapid as People. Throughout, the photography was the real show, bringing the impact of full color and the wide breadth of the world to American homes.

The weekly incarnation of LIFE magazine places at #11 on This Recording’s list of the 15 Best Print Magazine Runs of All Time. The entire piece, of course, is worth a read.

We always like the cover illustrations of The New Yorker.

This is beyond fantastic. The entire run of LIFE magazine as a weekly is now archived on Google Books. 1,860 full issues from 1936 to 1972.

Such an amazing resource of American culture, historic events, photography, and advertising. What might Don Draper think of some of these? Also, note how the AdWords change to fit the content of each page you read.
