The New Yorker Magazine, April 2, 1938, the complete issue in gorgeous shape, as-new. Perry Barlow illustrated the cover.
This issue includes the Stephen Vincent Benet Third World War poem, "Nightmare for Future Reference," and more. Other writers in this issue include John O'Hara, Louise Bogan, Emily Hahn, Franklin P. Adams, and Agnes Rogers.
The cartoonists are: Whitney Darrow, Jr., Richard Decker, Alan Dunn, Peter Arno, Robert J. Day, James Thurber, Charles Addams, Helen E. Hokinson, Gluyas Williams, Leonard Dove, John Ruge, George Price, and Barbara Shermund.
This issue also includes an extensive profile of classical pianist Artur Schnabel.
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 is in extraordinary shape, 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.
