This vintage The New Yorker issue from January 28, 1939, features a delightful cover by Barbara Shermund, one of the pioneering female cartoonists at The New Yorker. Known for her bold, witty depictions of social life, Shermund’s work often captured the complexities of modern women’s experiences with humor and insight, making her covers highly collectible.
The magazine is in very good condition for its age, with only minor wear along the edges (see photos). As issues from this period are becoming increasingly rare, with only a handful likely still available, this edition is a valuable and hard-to-find collector's item.
Please review the photos to see the condition for yourself. With over 4,000 issues of The New Yorker in stock, this rare edition would make a unique addition to any collection!
