Catalogue note
The November 1989 issue of The Face, Vol. 2 No. 14, with Winona Ryder photographed by Albert Sanchez on the cover. Beyond the cover, the issue is a significant primary document because it is explicitly dedicated to Ray Petri immediately after his death and contains a substantial tribute to his Buffalo styling legacy. It also records late-1989 British youth culture through Neneh Cherry, Fine Young Cannibals, dance music, club culture, film and fashion coverage.
Why this object matters
The explicit Petri dedication and substantial Buffalo tribute are immediate primary evidence of an influential styling community’s loss and self-history. Retain Gold at 9.2 while moderating the earlier 9.4; the Ryder cover is not the main basis.
Evidence limits: Main magazine appears intact from supplied views, but completeness has not been verified by page-by-page collation. No separately issued supplement or free gift has been established from the evidence reviewed.
