Berlin Illustrated


JFK graces the cover of a special publication of the Berliner Illustrirte Zeitung following his visit in 1963. Pieces of history like this magazine cover are quite sought after these days...

    Yes, I agree with you.

    People are willing to pay quite a lot for historical magazines.

    We used to have a German magazine from November 1963. Lost it in one of multiple moves...

      Sad that you have such a limited memory of a truly impressive and important person.

      Well I know women lose all their judgments concerning JFK ! A good looking guy doesn't make a good politician. This man was.physically sick and under drugs against his pain most of his life pushed by an over ambitioned father.The Kennedy clan was a more than special family. You may admire them that's your right. I'm not and I perfectly know why.

      I have to ask- what is your problem? You're coming across as an extremely negative, bitter person, in multiple comments.

      If to bring something into question shows that I'm for your a negative or bitter person, well it's up to you. I find it very strange that all over the blogland people always agree and everything is beautiful as in a wonderland. I have no problem and look at events in an other way than you. Easy to underdstand !

      What you are, whoever you bloody well are, is a toxic waste of bitter hostility. That's all you are. And you, just being yourself, is a life sentence.

    It's interesting to paw through those old magazines. Attitudes and advertisements were quite different from today.

    Great piece of history there. I really enjoy leafing through older magazines, the photography ones in particular p, amazing to see the changes. I was also lucky enough to pick up some old 'LIFEs' from the 30's if I remember correctly.

    Probably just like here and just like us there are lots of people saying 'I wish I'd kept that."

    It is hard for me to realize how long ago that was. It seems like just yesterday.
