Richard Edes Harrison's distinctive perspective maps of wartime strategy are among the highlights of these vintage prints from Fortune, the business magazine launched in 1930 by Henry Luce's publishing enterprise. The material runs from the 1930s to the mid-twentieth century, and advertising sits beside reporting: vehicle advertisements and consumer brands share the pages with art reproductions, portraits and business subjects. An aerial view of Manhattan reflects the magazine's interest in the modern city, and a reproduced Edward Hopper image adds a further glimpse of American visual culture.
