Time Photo Collection Appraisal

TIME Great Images of the 20th Century

The item is a special edition magazine titled "TIME GREAT IMAGES OF THE 20th CENTURY," published by Time Inc. Specials. The cover is black with the TIME logo in red at the top. Below the logo are the words "GREAT IMAGES" in large white letters, followed by "OF THE 20th CENTURY" in smaller white letters. Three iconic photographs from the 20th century are displayed horizontally across the top of the cover: one showing the flag raising on Iwo Jima, a second depicting a boxing match (likely from a significant event), and a third of a rocket launch, possibly the Apollo program. The text "THE PHOTOGRAPHS THAT DEFINE OUR TIMES" is printed above these images. There is also an image of Earth from space in the center of the cover. A barcode is visible on the bottom left corner, along with a price indicated as "$9.99 U.S. $12.99 CAN." and a red bar with "TIME INC. SPECIALS". The physical condition appears good, with no obvious tears or significant creases visible in the image. The cover seems to be made of a standard glossy magazine paper. As a special edition focusing on historical photography, it is likely a compilation of notable images previously featured in TIME magazine or other sources, presented in a paperback format.
