Illustrated with photos. 1 vols. Folio. This mock-up of LIFE magazine appeared one month before the first published issue of November 23, 1936. It was circulated to potential advertisers to provide a model for the general form and content of the magazine.

Incidentally, this "dummy" is also notable for containing the first printed reproductions of Paul Outerbridge's color photography, appearing four years before his groundbreaking Photographing in Color, with two full page color photographs, including one nude. (Inventory #: 235319)
