''Country Life'' is a British weekly magazine, based in London at 110 Southwark Street, and owned by IPC Media, a Time Inc. subsidiary. == History == ''Country Life'' was launched in 1897, incorporating ''Racing Illustrated''. At this time it was owned by Edward Hudson, the owner of Lindisfarne Castle and various Lutyens-designed houses including The Deanery in Sonning. At that time golf and racing served as its main content, as well as the property coverage, initially of manorial estates, that has become its mainstay. Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon, the late Queen Mother, used to appear frequently on its front cover. The frontispiece of each issue usually features a studio portrait photograph of a young woman from a landed British family, typically timed to coincide with the announcement of their marriage. Its subjects are popularly known as "Girls in Pearls", and show the enduring appeal of upper class British circles to a wider readership. In 1997, the centenary of the magazine was celebrated by a special issue, the publishing of a book by Sir Roy Strong, the airing of a BBC2 TV programme on a year in the life of the magazine, and staging a Gold Medal winning garden at the Chelsea Flower Show. In 1999, the magazine launched its new website. In 2007, the magazine celebrated its 110th anniversary with a special souvenir issue on 4 January.〔(Country Life, 4 January 2007, issue cover )〕 Starting on Wednesday 7 May 2008 the magazine is issued each Wednesday, having been on sale each Thursday for the past 111 years, with the earlier day being achieved using electronic publishing technology, with the magazine retaining its usual Monday deadline.〔(IPC Media press release 24 April 2008 ) Retrieved 18 May 2009〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Country Life (magazine)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
