Radio Lifestyle Magazine from 1923

By mid-1923 there was already a rotogravured lifestyle magazine showing how rich people decorated their homes with elaborate radio sets. The radio set is here the centerpiece of the room, and serves as the main focus.

Copies of this magazine are not common! I photographed this from the copyright set at the Library of Congress. The magazine lasted for at least a couple of year, but by early 1924 had become just another radio technofan magazine. In the course of time I'll put all of the covers I have on the magazineart.org site in the Radio or Science/Technology categories. Don't miss the sections of advertisements for radio sets, phonographs, and records!
