A 52-page Ebony magazine from December 1946. The front cover features a colored photograph of Winifred Mason Chenet modeling her own jewelry against a dark blue background. Captured in profile from the proper left side, Chenet wears a pink collared garment and rests her head on her proper left hand. On her hand, her nails are painted red and she’s wearing one of her rings on her ring finger. The ring is chunky, with a flat base and a large, circular metal piece. She wears a matching bracelet on her wrist, with one end swirling up and the other swirling down. In the upper left corner of the corner is a red text box with white text [EBONY] and on Chenet’s shoulder a second red text box with white text [COPPER / FOR CHRISTMAS]. In the bottom left corner is white text [DECEMBER 1946 25¢].
