Catalogue note
A July 1988 issue of Playboy featuring Cindy Crawford photographed by Herb Ritts, preserved as a high-importance example of late-1980s magazine publishing, fashion photography and popular culture.
Why this object matters
Ritts’s Crawford feature is an important intersection of supermodel imagery and mass-market adult publishing. The identified 1988 issue retains Gold at 9.0; encapsulation and the centerfold notation establish copy presentation, not a reason for 9.4-level significance.
Evidence limits: No new physical inspection or collation was performed. Copy-specific conclusions remain limited to the retained catalogue and accession evidence.
Score and assessment method
Archive Importance: 9 / 10 · Gold Star.
This is a curatorial judgement, not a measurement accurate to one tenth or a market valuation. Read the explanation and its evidence limits together.
