The Burlington Magazine The Burlington Magazine Ltd, 1903-1920. 4to (35 vols). Org. decorative cloth; numerous plates. Being an almost unbroken run from 1-37 (3+4 bound as one), lacking only 32 and 33. The Magazine is the longest running art journal in the world. It was originally founded for collectors by a group of art critics and historians, and enhanced market-based information with original, object-based historical research - with a sprinkling of lively contemporary gossip, sales results and exhibition announcements. The combination proved a hit and the journal remains a valuable source not only of art history, but also of the nature of the art market during the early part of the 20th century.
