The New Yorker Magazine, December 23, 1950, complete issue in breathtaking shape. Daniel Brustlein ("Alain") did the magnificent NYC Christmas cover, one of the finest Christmas covers ever. Among the contents are the brilliantly funny S.J. Perelman story "Cloudland Revisited: Rock-A-Bye Viscount, in the tree-top," and also contributions from Frank Sullivan, W.A. Powers, Esther Lacy, a profile of Wilson Mizner, and more; filled with cartoons and gorgeous ads. The pages are crisp and clean, without a hint of foxing or any other staining, no writing, nothing missing, tight to the staples. Strictly graded Mint; 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.
