Although A Tad Before My Time,

I was born in 1950, 


illustrations from Wikipedia, I found these magazine covers so cute, 

they are from a magazine called Lilliput

the magazine was a small-format British monthly magazine of humour, short stories, photographs and the arts, founded in 1937 by the photojournalist Stefan Lorant,

Lilliput was first published in 1937, only a short period before WW2 and continued right through the war under a few owners until its eventual end in 1960 when it merged into ‘Men Only’ ( which was at the time a similar pocket general interest magazine ...not the later ‘girlie’ incarnation),

the first 147 issues (until late 1949) had covers illustrated by Walter Trier with each design depicting a man, a woman, and a small Scottish Terrier dog in various situations and periods, for a web page dedicated to the magazine have a look here, the covers perhaps not to everyone's taste but I liked them.
