GO Magazine – September-October 1955 | Vintage Travel Classic with Striking Fan Cover Art

This is a vibrant September–October 1955 issue of GO: The Holiday and Travel Magazine, a stylish mid-century British publication celebrating aspirational holidays, exotic destinations, culture, and leisure living.

The front cover is a bold, eye-catching mid-century design featuring a dramatic red background with a large yellow fan (open like a Spanish mantilla or flamenco accessory) held by an elegant woman’s hand with red nails. The fan frames a silhouetted figure in traditional attire, creating a striking graphic contrast. The pink “GO” logo dominates the top, with the subtitle “the holiday and travel magazine” below, and the price 3s 6d at the bottom. This issue highlights a special report on Spain, alongside features like “Ways West (Across the North Atlantic)” by K. Westcott Jones, “Fantastic Business in Kenya” by John Cochran, “This Rally was Fun” by Jacqueline Richard, and “Austrian Inn Holiday” by Trevor Allen — perfectly capturing 1950s post-war wanderlust and emerging jet-age travel dreams.

The interior includes period travel articles, destination guides, and classic advertisements — notably a full-page TWA Jetstream ad promoting the new Lockheed Starliner non-stop transatlantic flights (priced at £151.16.0 Sky Tourist round-trip), emphasizing speed, comfort, and the “quietest” journey across 6,000 miles.

Condition: Vintage but very presentable — some edge wear, light corner creasing, minor surface scuffs, and age-toning typical of 70-year-old newsprint. Colors remain strong and vivid, no major tears or missing pages visible. A fantastic example of 1950s British graphic design and travel ephemera, ideal for collectors of mid-century magazines, vintage advertising, or nostalgic holiday nostalgia.

Perfect for display, framing the cover, or adding authentic retro flair to a collection. Ships worldwide with careful packaging.
