Twenty Years After
A number of 'partworks' (magazines published over a number of weeks) were published between the 1920s and the start of the Second World War. The last of those dedicated to the history of WW1 came out in November 1937 and was called 'Twenty Years After'. Originally intended to be published in 'about 40 weekly parts' the first set of magazines ran to 42 editions.
It is likely this series of magazines was very popular (or at least profitable) for the publishers because, at the end of the initial publication run, a 'Supplemental' series of a further 22 magazines were published.
The original 64 editions of 'Twenty Years After' are now quite rare. Whilst individual copies can be found, a full set of the first editions are rare and/or expensive. Many issues includes a 4 page photo centre-page spread in sepia.
