LIFE Magazine - January 1992 - 1991 Pictures Special Issue

This item is a copy of the January 1992 special issue of LIFE magazine, titled "1991 PICTURES: THE YEAR IN." The magazine features iconic images from the year 1991. The cover is dominated by a large photo of basketball player Magic Johnson in his Los Angeles Lakers uniform, mid-jump, with a basketball. Below this, a collage of smaller images represents key events and figures of 1991, including what appears to be a soldier with an American flag visible in the background, potentially images related to the Gulf War, a photo of two people dressed formally, a woman with darker skin, possibly from a political or social event, a nighttime image showing fireworks over buildings, and a photo of two men in suits shaking hands, one with a white ponytail. There is also a photo of a man in military uniform and another of a woman leaning with her hand on her face. The cover has a yellow corner graphic stating "SPECIAL ISSUE" and the publication date and price "JANUARY 1992 $3.95." The overall condition appears to be good for its age, with minimal visible wear or damage on the cover. The colors are vibrant and the printing is clear. A barcode is visible on the lower left of the cover, as well as an address label which obscures some of the collage images.
