Hence, when I came across the collection of fashion photographs from 1920 through 1965, which have kindly been collected and brought to our eyes by myvintagevogue (or on Flickr), I was delighted!
Why are Vogue no longer doing covers like this one?
Photo by Vogue, Magazine Cover from March 1958.Just to give you an impression how the magazines used to look from the inside, here's a great Pinup style shot of a young lady which might look familiar to you(*):
Photo taken from myvintagevogue's Flickr account. (I'll try to track the source down.).Why are they not doing these colours anymore? I mean, I know they probably would have liked to achieve more 'natural' colours back in the 50-60ies, but for me they are a crucial bit that makes the picture work. It almost seems that every decade since the advent of colour had it's own tint. My personal impression of the 70ies, for instance, is kind of yellow-ish. This might be due to the age of the film material though. I'll have to look a bit into this now ;-), so see you soon and enjoy the vintage photographs!
(*) I't good 'old' Marilyn ;-).

The reason that old decades had there own tint is basically because they couldnt really colour correct effectively. Its more of a flaw of the process. In case where the negatives still exist you can now produce prints that are tintless.
It would be interesting to see a collection of old photographs, which show people who are obviously from the past, in 'correct' colours alongside with prints that are done the old way.
Do you know by any chance where to get ideas of how to create these kinds of tints on purpouse?
do you have any other photos of her from this set?! pleaseeeeeeeee
