The commentaries also explore how democracy, dictatorships, colonisation, and modernity at large gave rise to experimental magazine designs, turning avant-garde art and lifestyle reporting into popular formats.\n\nFeaturing over 150 images, \u003cem\u003ePrint Matters\u003c\/em\u003e traces how illustrated magazines evolved across countries and continents, offering new insights into their history and enduring impact on culture and society.\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47031811113196,"sku":"9798887120003","price":131.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/21439553488912.jpg?v=1764149424"},{"product_id":"framing-community-by-maria-antonella-pelizzari-9783777428888","title":"Framing Community","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"book-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFounded in 1947 on the basis of the spirit of humanism, the Magnum photo agency has mostly focused its gaze on a world in times of unrest, collapsing social structures, and polarising politics.
