Advertising Photo for Perfume [Woman with Rose in Glass Flask] 1940s by Dr. Mehmed Fehmy Agha [see Lisa’s hands by Horst @ liquidnight]
[Dr. Mehemed Fehmy Agha was born in the Ukraine and educated in Kiev and Paris. After working for Vogue in Berlin he was recruited by Condé Nast to work in America in 1929. He soon became the art director of House & Garden and Vanity Fair and was a pioneer with the use of sans serif typefaces, the duotone, full color photographs and bleed images. Working together with leading photographers of the day such as Edward Steichen, Cecil Beaton, Edward Weston and Louise Dahl-Wolfe, Agha revolutionized magazine design. Under his direction Vanity Fair introduced the first double-page spread in 1930 and in 1932 Vogue produced the first magazine cover with full color photography.]
