I would like to know the exact dimensions of the individual numbers of (among others):

Paronorama 1946 - 1968,

Revue from 1953,

Catholic illustration from 1946.

At what times can changes in the format be detected?

The catawiki catalog can then be updated by me (nice job, I think)

I do have a lot of those magazines in my collections, but mostly bound, and the bound issues have wide strips cut, both lengthwise and widthwise.

Jilles, thanks for the additions.

I also measured a few loose magazines:

Panorama 1968 - number 46 : 26.4 x 36 cm,

Revue 1955 - number 29 : 26.5 x 36 cm,

Revue 1956 - number 9 : 26.2 x 36 cm,

Good News for Women 1957 - number 48: 21 x 26.6 cm,

De Spiegel 1958 - number 25: 26.8 x 35.4 cm

De Spiegel 1960 - number 35: 26.8 x 35.2 cm

World Chronicle 1957 - number 23: 25 x 33.5 cm,

Lengths and widths can usually show minor differences of at least one or two millimeters within the vintages.

This applies to all magazines; family magazines, youth magazines and comic magazines.

Albert Tol also pointed this out years ago in his description of the youth magazine Tombola (1953-1954)

Recently bought two volumes of Panorama at the Catawiki auction in separate numbers.

The format in 1954 and 1955 is 26.5 by 36.2 cm.

Throughout 1954 and up to number 38 of 1955 the magazines have no staples. Until about that time, several periodicals of N.V. Drukkerij De Spaarnestad had no staples!

Partly because of this, very nice tight issues of those magazines (including Sjors van de Rebellenclub) are difficult to find. Occasionally one finds loose used numbers at book fairs and flea markets, but often with frayed edges, warped and with cracks.

Neatly bound volumes more often show magazines with fresh interiors and fewer defects, but then there are again strips of paper cut off the edges of the magazines ...
