25 illustrated covers for the Spanish magazine Nuevo Mundo, circa 1919–30 1924, illus. Romà Bonet aka BON These scans come from the sprawling Hemeroteca Digital database of the National Library of Spain. (I did some digital scrubbing.) Though the magazine ran weekly from 1895 to 1933, the colorful covers appear from 1919 to 1930. While scrolling through the hundreds of mostly deco covers I also noticed a strong Wiener Werkstätte vibe. I've featured a handful of the illustrators before. (Unfortunately I couldn't read some of their signatures.) See my tag for Spain. "BON" showed up in my "Catalonian Book Fetishists" series. Thanks go to Alfonso Melendez for bringing me to this crazy database. 1925, illus. Salvador Bartolozzi (I'm guessing) More Bartolozzi19281925, illus.
