This New Yorker issue from July 29, 1939, features a whimsical cover by William Steig, the legendary cartoonist and author known for his sharp wit and emotional depth. Steig, who later created beloved characters such as Shrek, made significant contributions to The New Yorker with his distinctive style, which combined humor and thought-provoking themes.
The magazine is in very good condition for its age, with minor wear along the edges. Please see the photos to assess its well-preserved state. Issues like this are exceptionally hard to find, with only a handful still likely in circulation today.
