In the early magazine covers they tend to model them after book covers and they didn't really apply to whats inside sometimes they even put the table of contents on the front page. Sometimes they would just put symbols for their covers.
In the poster cover magazines they had no cover lines and their covers looked like they were meant to be up and framed on a wall. And most covers would probably be art or one big photograph! their cover lines would most likely be found at the bottom of the magazine. so many magazines took toward their covers in the early part of the 20Th century.
In pictures married to type magazines relied heavily on cover lines to draw readers inside the magazine, their covers were often symbolic and were related to issues. they often had large titles and models on the front page in certain positions with cover lines right beneath them and the covers would be colorful and nice.
In the forest of words, the magazines had lots of words on the cover with art and photographs some with more exposed models and the main cover consist on what was going to be inside of the magazine rather then just having a cover not related to anything on the inside.
