Magazine covers
Early magazine covers started out with the first story as a cover, there wasn't really a cover so the title of an article was good enough. Eventually there would be some kind of symbol on the front, but they didn't show what would be on the magazine. Just a title and a photo, maybe a few words for caption or so. In the late 1800s they began to experiment with magazine covers, they added more artistic graphics and less words.
From the late 1800s to mid 1900s magazine covers were improving, but were oversized. Most of the covers weren't related to stories in the magazines, most of them were just a figure of art and they were good looking. At the time there was very little words on the covers, possibly one word. Many of posters were used for magazine covers. "Life" magazine also used poster photos as magazine covers, they also had "life" in big bold letters at the top. At this point more of the photos started making sense. Most covers lead up to the main stories in the magazines. You knew more of what will be in the magazine, so it would be easier to have a magazine of your preference.
In the late 1800s magazine covers were changing drastically. Art was still being used for covers, but more words were on covers. More teasers and more information about articles in the magazine were being hinted on the cover. Cover lines were heavily used, both primary and secondary.
