This vintage The New Yorker issue from February 11, 1939, features a charming cover by Perry Barlow, an illustrator known for his gentle and humorous depictions of everyday life. Barlow’s relatable and warm illustrations became a signature of The New Yorker, making his covers highly collectible and beloved by fans of the magazine.
The magazine is in very good condition for its age, with only minor wear along the edges (see photos). Given the rarity of issues from this era, with likely only a handful still available, this is a hard-to-find collector’s piece.
Please view 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 valuable addition to any collection!
