Abstract
The article explores the symbolic significance of the globe as depicted on the covers of Fortune magazine, reflecting the evolving interpretations of globalism since the magazine's founding in 1929 by Henry Luce. It highlights Luce's vision of a global era characterized by democracy and cultural abundance, as articulated in his 1941 essay "The American Century." The selection of covers curated by the magazine's creative director showcases various artistic representations of the globe, illustrating how Luce's ideals of humane internationalism have persisted over the decades. The article features notable covers from different years, emphasizing the continuity of this theme in Fortune's visual identity. [Extracted from the article]
