This vintage The New Yorker issue from March 4, 1939, features a classic cover by Rea Irvin, the magazine’s first art editor and creator of its iconic visual identity, including the well-known Eustace Tilley. Irvin’s work brought sophistication and wit to the magazine, making his covers highly collectible.
The magazine is in very good condition for its age, with only minor wear along the edges (see photos). Given that issues from this era are increasingly rare, and with likely only a handful still in circulation, this is a valuable and hard-to-find collector’s item.
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 make an excellent addition to any collection!
