This is the first Vogue cover of World War II, 1939. In the first wartime issue, displays a red-white-and-blue cover displaying the Royal Arms. Patriotic, whimsical, and traditional, Vogue managed to represent the monarchy in an enticing way. Staying true to the forms of the Royal Arms, they framed the piece of tradition with modern simplicity. Red and blue divide the page and yet deliver a cohesive and playful cover.
