Since its founding in 1913, Vanity Fair has chronicled the evolution of the modern era, spanning the Jazz Age, the Depression, the Reagan era’s economic boom, and the visually saturated Information Age. The magazine has done so through its distinctive blend of wit, imaginative storytelling, and high-caliber literary content, complemented by striking visuals created by some of the most acclaimed photographers, artists, and illustrators of their time.
Edited by Graydon Carter, the lavishly produced book offers a decade-by-decade exploration of the world as seen through the lens of Vanity Fair. It highlights the magazine’s unique editor, Frank Crowninshield, and its groundbreaking launch during the Jazz Age. The book also delves into the magazine’s controversial resurgence in 1983 and chronicles the storied history of the iconic Vanity Fair Oscar Party.
