The publisher of *Vogue, Vanity Fair, House and Garden,* and *Glamour* magazines was discerning, shrewd, unremitting in his search for stylistic perfection, and--as his portrait shows--unbending. His magazines, the first to use photographs instead of drawings for editorial purposes, steadily commissioned work from distinguished photographers including Baron Adolphe de Meyer, Edward Steichen, Cecil Beaton, Horst P. Horst, and George Hoyningen-Huene. Here the Carolyn and Edwin Gledhill portrayed Condé Nast at the height of his success as a publisher and party giver.
