Vintage Playboy Magazines - 1985 Madonna

Description: Item/Description: Collection of vintage Playboy magazines including the September 1985 issue headlining Madonna. Printed on gloss-coated paper stock with heavy-stock pictorial covers, the design documents the evolution of mid-to-late 20th-century celebrity photography, illustrative layouts, and long-form journalism under Hugh Hefner's publishing empire.
