Published in Shanghai between 1929 and 1937, Modern Miscellany was a richly illustrated monthly magazine that embodied the spirit of Shanghai’s 1930s modern culture. Serving as both a cultural showcase and a mirror of contemporary urban life, it explored the emerging notions of “modern” and “modeng” through its striking visual design, photography, and literary content. The magazine blended national aspirations with cosmopolitan sensibilities—celebrating technological progress, artistic innovation, and everyday modern experience. With its avant-garde layout, vivid covers, and advanced printing, Modern Miscellany not only documented China’s modernization but also became an integral part of it, presenting readers with a world of cinema, art, fashion, and global imagination.

Paper fragile, binding some loose, covers slightly worn and almost detached.
