Of course, back in those days world travel was a lot more difficult, so the idea of the East was a lot more exotic and mysterious. The illustrator Frank McIntosh (link to a site that sells posters of his work) captured the romance of the subject with a series of wonderful Art Deco style covers.
There are more samples of his work after the jump, and a few more examples of his covers at Magazine Art, where I found these examples, as well as much more of his work at the above link.

My mother Juanita Alexander was a illustrator for Asia magazine in the late 20s/early 30s Looking to see if any of her work is online - I have copies of her work as well as copies of the magazines - one was a cover with Indian dance hands - she was close friends with the Shankar Dance troupe (family of the late Ravi Shankar)
Looking for more information or copies of her work - if you know of any please let me know - thank you Melissa Sjostrom
