Soft cover. Condizione: Very Good. 1st Edition. FOUR COMPLETE EARLY ORIGINAL ISSUES OF THE NEW YORKER MAGAZINE 1926 & 1927 Published by F-R Publishing Corp., New York City, 1926 and 1927 first printings. Having barely survived a precarious debut in 1925, Harold Ross and his wife Jane Grant, a reporter for The New York Times, used the years 1926 and 1927 to recruit defining talent and solidify the magazine's identity by leaning into New York's jazz age nightlife, fashion, Manhattan centric sophistication, irony, wit, and modern literary innovation, perfectly mirroring the urbanity of the speakeasy filled roaring twenties. The New Yorker Magazine became the archetype of the cynical, cocktail sipping modern New Yorker who viewed Prohibition with total amusement. A legendary and culturally defining publication that archives the cultural obsessions of these two years offering a unique primary source perspective. Oh and the advertisements for dry cocktails are totally evocative of Dorothy Parker's biting satire! June 26, 1926 Vol. 2, No. 19 With cover art by Hungarian American artist Julian de Miskey (1898-1976) depicting a classic Ivy League sculling race Yale vs. Harvard, that captures a Roaring Twenties sports culture aesthetic. Literary selections include an anonymously penned satirical poem "To A Flapper" and Sports coverage of polo matches, Harvard defeating Princeton, and nineteen year old Maureen Orcutt winning the Women's Metropolitan golf title at Rye. April 16, 1927, Vol. 3, No. 9 With cover art by Hungarian American artist Ilonka Karasz (1896-1981) an avant-garde, Easter-themed modernist work of a woman in a floral bonnet swarmed by butterflies. Includes literary works by Lois Long, Alfred Kreymborg, and Janet Flanner. June 25, 1927, Vol. 3, No. 18 With cover art by Hungarian American artist Ilonka Karasz (1896-1981) a vibrant, stylized image of an early summer rowing regatta. Literary works by Theodore Dreiser, Eugene O'Neill, Austrian American architect Joseph Urban, and E. B. White. August 20, 1927, Vol. 3, No. 27 With cover art by American artist Helen E. Hokinson (1893-1949) who was a trailblazing cartoonist for the magazine. Includes literary works by surrealist poet Charles Henri Ford, playwright Russel Crouse, and a review of the landmark silent film "Wings." Illustrated paper wrappers, side staple bound, 11.75" x 8.5", 60, 112, 84, and 72 pages respectively. VERY GOOD Condition: The covers are pulling from their rusted staples which have offset and affected the paper surrounding them, one cover has completely pulled away, the others are just clinging on, they have some light wear/edgewear and one rear cover has a small bottom corner chip, overall the covers remain very bright, clear, and clean. Internally the pages are lightly age toned, have some crinkles/wrinkles, light edgewear, edge bumps but otherwise remain bright, clean, clear and unmarked. The New Yorker had low print runs in '26 and '27 compared to its later millions, surviving complete issues from these two years are quite uncommon, especially so in this condition.

Hardcover. Condizione: Very Good. No Jacket. 1st Edition. Hardcover. Condition: Very Good/Near Fine. pp. 579-1152, illustrated. A lovely copy in the publisher's decorative red cloth, would be Fine cond. save for one small blemish, a small incision on the spine (as seen in photo). Very handsome copy of this remarkable volume printed on heavy coated paper, with hinges intact. St. Nicholas was a popular and much-heralded magazine written for (and by) children, and known to have been the first magazine to publish a number of famous authors, including Edna St. Vincent Millay, Stephen Vincent Benet, Eudora Welty, and F. Scott Fitzgerald (who had contributed a photograph). This volume contains the first published writing by E. B. White, a brief short story entitled "A Winter Walk," which he wrote at only 11 years old. It won the "Silver Badge," the magazine's second-highest honor. The story is a snapshot of a boy and his dog who venture out into a forest under fresh snow. It's a stunning accomplishment for an eleven-year-old, and of course this boy would grow up to write the all-time children's classic, "Charlotte's Web." This is an incredible, rare collector's item for anyone who loves or collects E. B. White. This volume also includes several incredible rare photogrpahs of early baseball players such as Ty Cobb, Honus Wagner, Nap Lajoie, etc., in wonderful passages about baseball strategy entitled "The Battle of Base-ball.".…

Hardcover. Condizione: Near fine. Quarto, pp. 579-1152, illustrated. A gorgeous, well-preserved copy, very near fine, in the publisher's decorative red cloth. Corners sharp, though there are very small abrasions to the bottom corners, and the spine is just half a shade darkened. Still a handsome copy of this fragile volume printed on heavy coated paper, with the hinges intact. A popular and much-heralded magazine written for and by children, St. Nicholas is known to have been the first magazine to publish a number of famous authors, including Edna St. Vincent Millay, Stephen Vincent Benet, Eudora Welty, Vita Sackville-West, and F. Scott Fitzgerald (who had contributed a photograph). This volume contains the first published writing by E. B. White, a brief short story entitled "A Winter Walk," which won the "Silver Badge," the magazine's second-highest honor. The story is a snapshot of a cabin-dweller and his dog, who venture out into a forest under fresh snow. It contains some real stunners for an eleven-year-old, though the fact is less surprising when one realizes this is the eleven-year-old who would grow up to write "Charlotte's Web." For example: "All the trees wore a new fur coat, pure white, and the pines were laden with pearl [.] Squirrels frisked among the branches, chattering because we trespassed on their property." A fantastic keepsake for anyone who loves E. B. White, especially those who admire his talent for humanizing the animal kingdom.…
