Vintage Color & Design: Nuevo Mundo

*editor’s note 12/7/2011 | The information about the magazine is incorrect. We mistakenly mixed up two magazines by the same name but published many years apart. The covers below are from Mundo Nuevo a monthly magazine Published in Madrid, Spain from the 1900s to early 1930s. Thanks to COLOURlover Capricciosa for setting us straight. The original article can still be found below.

Mundo Nuevo (Spanish for “the New World”) was an influential Spanish-language periodical dedicated to new Latin American literature. Sponsored by the Ford Foundation, it was founded in 1966 by Emir Rodríguez Monegal in Paris, France, and distributed worldwide. Monegal edited it until 1968 and resigned after a smear campaign related to a CIA scandal. The magazine stopped in 1971 after 58 issues.

This wonderful collection comes to us from flickr user juanjoseixas. Thanks for sharing.
