Parade Magazine Gallery

Selection of covers from Australian magazine Parade published during the 1950's. Cover artists are largely uncredited although I believe the first 5 years were illustrated by Frank Stackpool with John L Curtis his successor. Australian cartoonists/illustrators Stan Pitt, and  Virgil Reilly also contributed covers during the magazines lifetime. View previous parade magazine cover galleries here, here, here, and here.
