Shadowland ProfileSHADOWLAND was a magazine about the Dance, but the most striking thing about it today is the set of covers in a unique, dreamy, deco style by A. M. Hopfmüller. It was published by Brewster Publications, apparently 1919-23. Many more covers can be found in this blog entry by JTK. A few more appear on moviemags.com (which has plenty of other movie magazine covers as well), which says it was absorbed by MOTION PICTURE CLASSIC in November, 1923. They list the following other magazines published by Brewster Publications (founded by Eugene V. Brewster): A number of issues contained illustratons by Vargas: The following description of the January, 1923 issue is from a 2006 eBay listing, reproduced on the Worthpoint.com site: Shadowland Magazine, the "Cadillac" of Brewster publications, from January, 1923 (Volume VII, No. 5) with a scene by A.M.
