While inventorying serial publications to be catalogued into our online catalog, I came across a magazine from the 1920′s with art deco covers called The Brooklynite. While the art deco covers were typical for magazine art during that time period, what makes this find interesting is the rarity – I went to NYPL’s Humanities and Social Sciences library, and with a reference librarian there, searched every known periodical index in existence but was not able to find reference to the Brooklynite we have. I say “The Brooklynite we have” because there seems to be a couple of other magazines with the same title that bear no relation to the one in our collections. The publication of The Brooklynite we have caters to Brooklyn society, in addition to photos of various socialites, it contains humorous anecdotal stories, poetry, and some very impressive artwork. The library holds issues vol. 1, no.1 April 1926 to vol. 2, no. 5 March 1928.
