This New Yorker issue from November 11, 1939, features a striking cover by Constantin Alajalov, a renowned artist celebrated for his witty and satirical illustrations that often captured the spirit of American life. As one of the few artists to have created covers for both The New Yorker and The Saturday Evening Post, Alajalov’s work is a hallmark of mid-20th-century magazine art.
The magazine is in very good condition for its age, with minor wear on the edges. Please see the photos to assess its well-preserved state. Copies like this are exceedingly rare, with only a handful likely to still be in circulation.
