On this day in 1933, Newsweek published its first issue (top image). Over the past 80 years many have graced their cover, which can be seen in Newsweek’s “An Oral History of Newsweek Magazine”.
Even the NYPL Digital Gallery has captured a few of Newsweek’s work! In the two bottom covers, Newsweek depicts Rodgers and Hammerstein musicals, South Pacific and Flower Drum Song.
