This Evergreen Magazine Pair features a rectangular silhouette and a matte paper texture, offering a classic aesthetic for curated library displays.

A pillar of 1960s radical thought and avant-garde literature, Evergreen Review was the vanguard for voices like Tennessee Williams and Malcolm X. This set includes Issue No. 50 from December 1967, featuring a darkly humorous cover by the legendary Tomi Ungerer, and Issue No. 59 from October 1968, showcasing a stunning ballerina floral motif. Together, they represent a pivotal moment in American publishing where art, politics, and literature collided with unapologetic energy.

The saturated colors of the cover illustrations remain remarkably crisp, making them as much a visual statement as they are a literary one. Within your collection, these magazines serve as grounded, reverent artifacts of the mid-century intellectual landscape, perfect for display on a minimalist desk or within a gallery wall of framed ephemera. Their good vintage condition preserves the weight and feel of the era’s high-quality offset printing. Whether you are a student of the Black Revolution era or a collector of modernist graphic design, this pair brings a sophisticated, storied presence to the modern library.

This set is vintage, over 55 years old. All measurements are close but approximate. I measure in quarter inches.
