New Pencil Points, No. 1 (January 1943)

So, we got in a few New Pencil Points. It was an architecture magazine. It started as Pencil Points in 1920. Then ran as New Pencil Points between 1942 and 1943. And then it was Progressive Architecture until it died in 1995. This one is No. 1—the first of the new title. It’s got a handsome cover designed by architect Bernard Rudofsky. In fact, the masthead reports that he was responsible for the overall design and montages in the issue. Also, there’s a surprisingly large number of advertisements for pencils. For real.
