An image meets its headline.
Eight covers from the archive.
A cover is an encounter between an image and the words around it. Here, Trenc’s illustrations appear with their original mastheads, headlines and page layouts, preserving the context in which readers encountered them.
The artist’s original website gathered these eight covers into one gallery. The selection moves between American and regional publications, from business and books to politics and culture. Each image is a scan of the published page.
