Caprice is a British adult magazine positioned as “The Men’s Magazine Written by Women.” This copy is Issue 48, marked Adults Only, with the original printed cover price of 85p, placing it in the early to mid‑1970s period of the title’s run.

This issue is noted on the cover as “Now in Full Colour,” reflecting the transition period when long‑running UK adult magazines moved from mixed black‑and‑white formats into fully colour production. The cover features a studio glamour photograph with a bold yellow background, a highly recognisable Caprice design style of the era.

Cover text visible on this issue includes:

Now in full colour

The men’s magazine written by women

The editorial concept behind Caprice emphasised female‑written perspectives, personal narratives, and reader engagement, distinguishing it from many contemporary male‑edited adult magazines. The visual presentation balances glamour imagery with editorial positioning rather than purely pictorial content.

This issue represents a mid‑run, colour‑era copy of Caprice, more common than early monochrome editions but still collected as part of 1970s British adult publishing history.
