    Lilliput [v37 #4, #220, October 1955] (2/-, 88pp, octavo, cover by Victoria ,[?])
    This issue 88 pages the extra given over to adverts. Jack Hargreaves’s name vanishes as Managing Editor, though the others remain in their roles. The fashion pages (70-71) are photographed by “Ken Russell”. I wonder!

    Lilliput [v37 #5, #221, November 1955] (2/-, 80pp, octavo, cover by photo)
    From this issue the cover paintings change to glamour photos. Internally there are now many full colour illustrations rather than two-tone. Also the editorial names all vanish. This may be when William Richardson became editor.

    Lilliput [v37 #6, #222, December 1955] (2/-, 104pp, octavo, cover by photo)
    104 pages for the Xmas issue.
