Harold Ross / The New Yorker Vol 1 No 1 1st Edition 1925

  
Author: Harold Ross [Editor] Title: The New Yorker Vol. 1 Publication: New York: The F-R Publication Corp. Description: Cover by Rea Irvin. Staplebound magazine (8-5/8 x 11-7/8 in) in glossy illustrated wraps. 32pp with [2]pp of advertisements. First issue of arguably the most prominent American literary magazine of the 20th century, published on February 21, 1925. This is NOT a facsimile reprint but an uncommonly well-preserved original. The rest of the magazine is devoted to much of the same ground it continues to cover almost 100 years later: satire, capsule profiles, New York cultural events, poetry, and more. Fascinating in how similar in tone, feel, and design it remains to all later generations of the magazine -- an uncommon evenness of keel. Trifle edge worn and age toned, with light bleed of the front cover illustration showing through to verso but not offsetting to the next page. Ralph Barton, Marc Connelly, Rea Irving, George S.

Kaufman, Alice Duer Miller, Dorothy Parker, Alexander Woollcott [Advisory Editors]. Subject: Art, Literary Criticism, Literature, New York City.
