This vintage The New Yorker issue from November 25, 1939, features a timeless cover by Rea Irvin, the founding art editor of The New Yorker and creator of its iconic Eustace Tilley character. Irvin’s sharp, elegant illustrations helped define the magazine’s sophisticated visual style, making his covers highly prized among collectors.
The magazine is in very good condition for its age, with minor wear on the edges (see photos). As this issue is over 80 years old, finding copies in such good condition is incredibly rare, with only a handful likely still available, making it a true 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 a wonderful addition to any collection!
