magazine covers part 2

Mother's Magazine from 1844 is an example of a third kind of cover that was common in the first two centuries of magazines,the symbolic cover. It uses a generic illustration in a symbolic manner to evoke the spirit of the publication, without revealing any of this issue's specific contents.

The magazine picture might be seen as telling the readers of Mother's Magazine that they are the foundation, the pillars, the unifying arch, the source and fountain, the life, and the instructor of their families. All of those implications can be reasonably found in its stylized picture, if you remember that earlier generations customarily read the Bible, and pictures, as allegorical messages requiring active interpretation. this is way different from what kind of magazine covers we have now. ex: 

i feel like now we focus on fashion and whats going on in the media. in most magazine covers there will always be a person rarely ever an object or a drawing. there is lots of writing in it to,the magazine is usually covered up with all the topics in the magazine there will never be a close to blank magazine cover.
