The New Yorker Magazine, April 8, 1939, complete issue in extraordinary shape. Will Cotton did the cover.
This issue includes a poem by William Carlos Williams. Among the other writers are William Maxwell, Daniel Fuchs, Sir Walter Scott, James Thurber, Baird Leonard, Benedict Thielen, David McCord, Dan Wickenden, W.E. Farbstein, and Wolcott Gibbs.
The cartoonists are: Alan Dunn, Robert J. Day, Barbara Shermund, Peter Arno, Richard Decker, Richard Taylor, Perry Barlow, Sydney Hoff, Helen E. Hokinson, Stephen Ronay, Leonard Dove, John Ruge, and Carl Rose.
Also in this issue is an extensive profile of Dr. Emanuel Libman, diagnostician and well-known pathologist.
The pages are crisp and clean, bright white without a hint of foxing or any other staining, no writing, no creases, nothing missing, tight to the staples. Strictly graded Very Fine; it was put away when brand new (along with many others we have) by an obsessive New Yorker collector from whom we acquired it, untouched since new until now. We have many other beautiful New Yorkers online now so please take a look. All our New Yorkers ship in archival sleeves with backing boards. The images we show are of the actual magazine you will receive.
