This vintage The New Yorker issue from September 9, 1939, features a lively cover by Constantin Alajalov, a master of satirical and vibrant illustrations. Alajalov’s distinctive style, known for its humor and keen social commentary, made him one of the most beloved cover artists for The New Yorker. His work continues to be highly collectible and admired by art enthusiasts.
The magazine is in good condition for its age, with some wear visible along the edges (see photos). As issues from this period are becoming increasingly hard to find, and with likely only a handful still in circulation, this is a rare and valuable collector's item.
Please review the photos to see the condition for yourself. With over 4,000 issues of The New Yorker in stock, this rare edition would be a great addition to any collection!
