EDITORS COMMENTS
This front cover illustration, published in June 1933, showcases the epitome of elegance and sophistication from the bygone era of the 1930s. The image features a woman of refined grace, dressed in the height of fashion, as she confidently holds a cigarette between her slender fingers. The smoke gently curls upwards, adding an alluring air to her image. The woman is none other than Britannia, the iconic personification of Britain.

Her timeless beauty and poise are a testament to the enduring spirit of the 1930s, an era marked by economic hardship and social change.
