This vintage The New Yorker issue from November 12, 1938, features a classic cover by Rea Irvin, the magazine’s first art editor and the creator of its iconic visual identity. Known for his wit and sophistication, Irvin’s work, including his creation of the famous Eustace Tilley, helped define the look and feel of The New Yorker, making his covers highly sought after by collectors.
The magazine is in very good condition for its age, with only minor wear along the edges (see photos). Issues from this era are incredibly hard to find, with only a handful of copies likely still in circulation, making this a rare and valuable collectible.
Please take a moment to view the photos to see the condition for yourself. With over 4,000 issues of The New Yorker in stock, this rare edition would be an excellent addition to any collection!
