Dalí painted for Vogue before photography took over covers

Before the camera became the default, Vogue's covers were hand-painted works of art — and Salvador Dalí was among the artists who contributed. Peacocks, palm trees and Art Deco zigzags turned each issue into a miniature gallery during the golden age of fashion illustration. A page shared 11 vintage covers that capture that era, when a magazine cover could feel like a painting you'd frame. It's a reminder that fashion media once leaned on illustrators, not photographers, to set the visual tone.

Which era of magazine art would you rather see return: painted covers or photographic ones?
