    Outstanding content. It really breaks My heart that we are living in the NEW 20's, yet it falls so short of the style & promise the 1920's.

      Very well said. I agree completely.

      Definitely! No class or any sense of style now.

      As long as our '20s aren't followed by the same type of '30s as before, I'm okay with it.

      Look how it started out. With the covid pandemic.

      @@searchthewind99 On a deaths per capita basis, Covid-19 was only 1/10 as virulent as the 1918-1920 Spanish Influenza pandemic. Even the post pandemic, 1922 death rate from pneumonia and influenza was slightly higher than the 2022 Covid-19 death rate. The average life expectancy in the USA is currently 25 years longer than it was a century ago. The average work week was 20% longer. In general, the quality of living was lower. Like others who subscribe this channel, I'm fascinated by the 1920s but I don't view them with rose coloured glasses. As the old saying goes, it's a time I'd like to visit but I wouldn't want to live back then.

    I love the French publications, La Vie Parisienne and Le Sourire. Great risqué art and Art Deco fashion.

    Wonderful and interesting topic. Almost all of these magazines are of course gone noww however, the British BBC weekly magazine "Radio Times", which was first published in 1923, is still a popular weekly TV and radio listings magazine, next year it will celebrate 100 years in print.

    “The American Mercury” magazine by H L Mencken and George Jean Nathan … the quintessential 1920’s publication. Love your channel. Please consider opening a patreon account. Would be happy to contribute.

    Ever since I was little, I was curious about and liked America in the 1910s and 20s. I wanted to know everything about America at that time. I think your channel is for me. I'm Korean and I can't understand all English. However, I understand a little because I have been watching books, photos, and movies of that era for a long time. thank you, 1920s channel.

    I'd like to metaphorically sit in your brain. Do you wear 1920s clothes and collect 1920s items? I imagine you dressed as prince Edward in his younger days.

    Interesting video, I thought you may have mentioned Popular Science from the twenties and thirties . There were some great articles about items that became somewhat accurate about the future, ie: flying, television, etc. nice video thank you.

    It’s always a gift when content creators share how they approach their research and the references that they use. Thank you so much for enhancing my ability to research this fascinating era. Your ideas for future videos are right on target!

    This is so great. Thanks. I often think about how the 1920s seem so much closer to us now then the 1860s seemed in the 1960s. How will our times seem in the 2120s? The same? Or what?

  • @jmiller1918
    @jmiller1918 2 года назад +2

    A possible future topic for your exploration might be John Held Jr. and his many illustrations of flappers and 1920's "flaming youth". I would say Held's art is the primary mental image thousands of people have of the "Roaring Twenties".

    I had many actual magazines from the twenties and earlier in the eighties. I'm surprised that you'd just discovered 'Judge' - it's the quintessential 1920s magazine - that and 'Life'. I had many of each. Also, 'Radio News' was the most authoritative radio magazine of the time, and yes, it contained a lot of the technical aspects of radio, but that part is fundamentally fascinating, not boring, as you contend (how frustrating). The technology was relatively simple and straightforward at the time and is fairly easy to grasp, and this sort of information was necessary to grasp in the early years of radio because radio had yet to be turned into the automatic, "just turn it on and turn the tuning and volume knobs" device that it would later become.

    Thank you, great. And I appreciated the referencing where you are finding the treasures, which websites. I probably won't visit them but I really like you put the information in front of me, and I appreciated the screen shots of the websites- it demystifies. I'm amazed at the research and that you can handle all the information and make choices and get videos done.

    My vote is for Overland Monthly and Out West Magazine, ultimately the product of Charles Lummis with William E. Smythe, Sharlot Hall and Julia Boynton Green contributing articles to it. Lummis was long gone by the '20's, but the magazine would inspire other western oriented publications, such as Desert Magazine, which today has a cult following.
