Lilliput was a small-format British monthly magazine of humour, short stories, photographs and the arts, founded in 1937 by the photojournalist Stefan Lorant.[1] The first issue came out in July and it was sold shortly after to Edward Hulton, when editorship was taken over by Tom Hopkinson in 1940. During the 1950s Lilliput was edited by Jack Hargreaves.
Contributors included James Boswell (artist), Bill Brandt, Brassaï, Patrick Campbell, Aleister Crowley, Robert Doisneau, Ronald Ferns, C. S. Forester, John Glashan, Sydney Jacobson, Robert Graves, Michael Heath, Ergy Landau, Nancy Mitford, Stephen Potter, V. S. Pritchett, Ronald Searle and Ylla. From August 1960 it was merged within Men Only (which only later became pornographic).
The first 147 issues (until late 1949) had covers illustrated by Walter Trier.[1] with each design depicting a man, a woman, and a small terrier dog in various situations and periods.
(Lilliput Review, an American periodical that started in 1989, is unrelated.)
