splash  Though never considered a major star, Louise Brooks graced the covers of a number of a number of magazines in her day. This page, one of a handful which document her magazine cover appearances, feature covers published in Southern Europe, namely the former Spain, Portugal and Italy. Covers are presented in chronological order by country. Of note, Maschietta, from Italy, likely represents Brooks’ first European cover, while Piccola, also from Italy, was Brooks last cover appearance until 1958. Also of note is Brooks’ appearance on the cover of La Settimana Enigmistica, a crossword puzzle magazine. If you have additional covers or further information on any of these titles, or if you have a better scan of any of these covers (especially the 1929 issues of Cine Mondo and La Cinematografia), please CONTACT the Louise Brooks Society. Thank you for your interest. A directory of other pages on the LBS website which feature cover appearances can be found on Louise Brooks – “Cover Girl”.
