This vintage The New Yorker issue from April 29, 1939, features a classic cover by James Thurber, one of the magazine’s most famous contributors. Thurber was not only known for his humorous essays but also for his quirky, deceptively simple illustrations that became iconic symbols of The New Yorker’s wit and style. His covers remain highly sought after by collectors.
The magazine is in very good condition for its age, with minor wear along the edges (see photos). As issues from this period are incredibly rare, with only a handful likely still in circulation, this edition is a valuable and hard-to-find collectible.
Please review the photos to assess the condition for yourself. With over 4,000 issues of The New Yorker in stock, this rare edition would be a unique and valuable addition to any collection!
