A copy of the Halloween issue of The New Yorker made in 1942, during WWII, shortly after the Battle of Midway. The cover depicts Adolf Hitler as a witch flying over a city and being shot at. This cover was illustrated by the famous Rea Irvin. Rea Irvin was an American graphic artist and cartoonist that served as the first art editor of The New Yorker. He created the Eustace Tilley cover portrait and the New Yorker typeface. This 82 year old sports some light creasing to the spine, a 10.5cm crease to the top edge of the front cover, and three 4cm faint scratches to the front cover. The top edge of the back cover has some slight rubbing. A perfect addition to any WWII collectors library.
