Spectator
The vintage magazine ‘Spectator’ was a Flemish magazine published by publisher ‘Het Volk’, which caused a furore, especially in the 1970s. It was a socially critical magazine aimed at a wide but nevertheless interested audience. Spectator was launched at the same time as ‘Knack’ and had similar content and target audience. The articles were in-depth but never wide-ranging. The main topics covered and treated with deep seriousness were about politics, society, education, foreign countries, religion, and finance; there was also a focus on literature, film and music. The magazine contains extremely few images and then they are always in black and white except for the centre page. If you want to know the social realities and insights of the time, you have come to the right place.
