Description
This "Travelling" cinema magazine, issue 10, is a vintage publication from 1986, as indicated on the cover. The front cover is dominated by a photograph of Kathleen Turner, mentioned in a yellow box as "SUPERSTAR!". The "Travelling" logo is printed in white letters outlined in red, typical of 80s graphic design. The overall layout, with its colorful frames (yellow, red, green, blue) and straight fonts, clearly evokes the retro aesthetic of specialized press from that era.
The magazine shown in the photo has a soft cover, with a satin finish and slightly rounded corners. The printing is in four-color process, consistent with the standards of cultural periodicals of the 1980s. The cover texts announce varied content: a special 1986 feature, a focus on "adventurers of the year," an article on "heroines of '86," a ranking of the "worst films of '85," a makeup section dedicated to Tom Savini, and a box promising "all the news." The slogan at the bottom of the page "A different tone in the world of cinema" reinforces the editorial originality of the title.
The magazine on display is in very good visual condition for its age: the cover shows a uniform sheen, without any major tears or apparent stains; only a slight dent in the lower right corner is visible, which is common for a vintage periodical. The print colors are still vibrant, suggesting good preservation away from direct light. The staples or spine are not visible in this photo, but the edge appears intact in the visible part.
The prominence of Kathleen Turner, an iconic actress of the 80s, as well as the presence of varied cinematographic themes, make this issue a faithful testimony to the specialized press of the time. The very graphic cover is typical of retro cinema magazines, and the choice of colors as well as the photo treatment are characteristic of the 1980s decade.
This periodical will be perfect for display in a space dedicated to cinema, a vintage library, or to enhance an eighties-inspired decor. The item is aimed at anyone looking for an authentic piece of cinema press, with a strong retro aesthetic.
