The Land of Lilliput

A friend recently inherited a collection of 40 Lilliput magazines dating from 1946-1949. She has asked me to sell them on ebay for her so the day was spent cataloguing them, ready for selling at the weekend.

Interesting to notice how televisions have changed since November 1946!!

"Lilliput was a small-format British monthly magazine of humour, short stories, photographs and the arts, founded in 1937 by the photojournalist Stefan Lorant. The first issue came out in July and it was sold shortly after to Edward Hulton, when editorship was taken over by Tom Hopkinson in 1940. During the 1950s Lilliput was edited by Jack Hargreaves. It had a reputation for publishing what were, for the time, fairly daring photographs of female nudes.

The first 147 issues (until late 1949) had covers illustrated by Walter Trier with each design depicting a man, a woman, and a small terrier dog in various situations and periods." Wikipedia
