This vintage The New Yorker issue from June 1, 1940, features an elegant cover by William Cotton, an artist celebrated for his sharp, satirical take on high society and cultural trends. Cotton’s ability to capture the nuances of the social elite made his covers iconic, and they remain highly prized by collectors today.
The magazine is in very good condition for its age, with minor wear along the edges (see photos). As issues from this period are becoming increasingly rare, and with only a handful likely still available, this is a valuable and hard-to-find 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!
