A Coffee Table Mags pick for men who dress with history in mind — The Rake is the sharpest case for classic elegance in a world that keeps forgetting why it matters. The Modern Voice of Classic Elegance Founded in 2008, The Rake is the world’s preeminent publication dedicated to the education and arbitration of men's style. Recapturing the codes of classic men’s elegance, The Rake is inspired by icons such as Cary Grant, Gianni Agnelli, Sean Connery and their contemporary counterparts. It provides incisive, in-depth commentary on menswear and the many other elements of gentlemanly living, from manners and ethics to art and design, travel, the intellectual and the philosophical, entertainment, food and drink. In this issue: Echoing King George VI's poignant reminder to stand firm and united in times of trial, The Rake’s first issue of the year is an exercise in acknowledging the nuance that comprises life's eccentric but beautiful stories. From cover star Kaley Cuoco's sentiments towards her horse-filled haven in balancing a lifetime's dedication of excellent work on the small screen, to unpacking the legend of Brigitte Bardot in all her intrigue and infamy, this issue emphasises how diversity of experience and opinion can often serve to enrich, rather than divide. One thing that will never change, however, is our celebration of the artisans who provide the quotidian pleasures that sustain us through such trials, too. Cover Star: Kaley Cuoco
