ADDING WHITE SPACE Established in 1867, Harper’s Bazaar was America’s first fashion magazine. The late 1800s was a no-nonsense era when resources like paper were scarce and highly valued, and printing was expensive. You can see how much information was packed into the pages of a single issue. When readers finished an issue, they didn’t throw it away; it was reused for insulating walls and kindling for their fireplace. The dense design was a direct reflection of societal values of the time. Source: HarpersBazaar.com © Duarte, Inc. 2014 122
