I was blown away by these beautiful prints, how they so distinctly represented the art from that era.

How lucky then, that I stumbled upon another cache of early 20th century art just a little while later. This time, the prints come from magazine Japanese magazine covers from the 20s and 30s.

Some of these covers showcase styles from the times, but a lot of them are a lot more abstract, looking more like the faces of playing cards or a painting than anything from the real world.

You can see the rest of these covers over at 50 Watts.
