Jaunā Gaita
Dave at grain edit posted a series of incredibly beautiful classic covers of the Latvian magazine Jaunā Gaita. He also provided the following background information:
After the second World War many Latvian writers were relocated to different areas of the world. Many ended up in Great Britain, Canada and the USA. Living in these new lands they began their own periodicals and publication houses. A new generation of writers emerged. “Living in foreign lands and surrounded by other cultures, these writers strove to capture the influences of modernism.” * One of the magazines that surfaced during this time period was Jauna Gaita (the new course). Ilmārs Rumpēters who designed many of the covers of Jauna Gaita during the 1950s-1970s, wonderfully captured the spirit of this era.
* Dr Raimonds Bredis - History of Latvian Literature
A complete set of covers can be found at the official Jaunā Gaita website. I just love the cover designs and want to work with some of these ideas soon. Many, many thanks to Dave/grain edit for pointing me to these covers! Below are a few of my favorites:
