The New Yorker Magazine, June 17, 1939, complete issue in extraordinary shape. William Steig illustrated the cover.
This issue includes a poem by WH Auden, a discussion of Salvador Dali's cover for Vogue, and a satire on James Joyce's "Finnegan's Wake" by Russell Maloney. Among the other writers: Arthur Kober, Phyllis McGinley, Rose Hartwick Thorpe, James Thurber, Richard Armour, Phil a. Strong, Jean Batchelor, Stephen Slaughter, and Geoffrey T. Hellman.
The cartoonists are: Whitney Darrow, Jr., Robert J. Day, Perry Barlow, Gardner Rea, Peter Arno, Charles Addams, Richard Decker, Richard Taylor, Barbara Shermund, Garrett Price, Alan Dunn, Helen E. Hokinson, and Mary Petty.
Also in this issue is an extensive profile of John C. Craig, consultant on pyrotechnics to the Board of Display of the World's Fair.
The pages are crisp and clean, bright white without a hint of foxing or any other staining, no writing, nothing missing, tight to the staples. Strictly graded 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.
