This vintage The New Yorker issue from February 4, 1939, features a whimsical cover by William Steig, the celebrated cartoonist and illustrator who later gained fame as the author of Shrek!. Known for his emotionally resonant and often humorous illustrations, Steig’s work brought a unique depth and charm to The New Yorker, making his covers highly sought after by collectors.
The magazine is in very good condition for its age, with minor wear along the edges (see photos). Issues from this period are increasingly rare, with only a handful likely still available, making this a valuable and hard-to-find collector’s piece.
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 a wonderful addition to any collection!
