This original The New Yorker issue from August 13, 1938, features a distinguished cover by Rea Irvin, the founding art editor of The New Yorker and creator of the magazine’s iconic Eustace Tilley character. Irvin’s witty and elegant style helped define the magazine’s visual identity, making his covers highly collectible.
The magazine is in very good condition for its age, with only minor wear on the edges (see photos). Given its age, issues like this are increasingly hard to find, with likely only a handful still in circulation, making this a true collector’s item.
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 make an excellent addition to any collection!
